Brutal jihadist group once again seeking to launch attacks internationally
Weeks after the last redoubt of his caliphate fell, Isis leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi made a final appearance on camera, urging his followers to continue in their quest against “the enemy”. “Our battle today is a battle of attrition,” Baghdadi said in the 2019 video, six months before he was killed in a US raid. “They should know that jihad continues until judgment day.” He commanded remaining supporters to attack “crusader France and its allies”.
“The Sahel is now the epicentre of terrorism,” said Steve Killelea, lead author of the index, which defines terrorist attacks as the “threatened or actual use of illegal force and violence” by a non‐state actor. Local Isis affiliates confine their activities to the region rather than attacking internationally, but have shown the group’s trademark brutality. The region now accounted for almost half of all global terrorism deaths, the index found.
