Mr. Cartalucci does an excellent job here providing his opinion with no facts to back up his claim that it's the US and the west providing arms and funding for ISIS. Of course, it's an opinion piece so it certainly doesn't need to be encumbered by little things like facts… and so it is completely unencumbered by them. The US is not in any way providing support for ISIS... Quite the contrary, we are actively seeking them out in Syria.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may have reappeared in new video. For the first time in five years, ISIS has released what it says is a new video message from its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
In the video, a man purporting to be Baghdadi appeared to be wearing a casual outfit, sitting on the ground next to an assault rifle. He said the "Battle for Baghouz is over," referencing the last town held by ISIS in eastern Syria.
Baghouz was liberated from the terror group in late March, marking the collapse of the group's so-called Caliphate.
In the video, the man praised recent bombings in Sri Lanka, which killed more than 250 people and wounded at least 500 on April 21. Ref. CNN
