ISIL video threatens China with 'rivers of bloodshed'

SITE Intelligence Group says footage from Uighur fighters in western Iraq warns China of upcoming attacks.

• Uighur ethnic minority have vowed to return home and "shed blood like rivers" in what security experts said marked the first such threat against Chinese targets.
  
  The threat came in a half-hour video released Monday by a division of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) featuring fighters from China's Uighur minority, said the US-based SITE Intelligence Group, which analysed the footage.
  WATCH: China imposes restrictions on Muslim Uighurs (2:44)
  China's foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said Wednesday he had not seen the video but noted that "East Turkestan terrorist forces have been posing a severe threat to China's security."
  
  He called for international cooperation "to combat such terrorist forces".
  
  Show of force
  China maintains tight security in Xinjiang but a drumbeat of deadly unrest has continued. A knife attack last month left eight dead, including three attackers, police said.
  
  The video was released on the same day China staged the latest in a series of mass rallies by armed police in Xinjiang meant to indicate Chinese resolve in crushing security threats.
  
  More than 10,000 officers gathered Monday in the regional capital, Urumqi - the fourth such show of force this year in Xinjiang.
  
  In one violence-wracked corner of Xinjiang, authorities are offering rewards of up to $730,000 to those who expose attack plots or "kill, wound, or subdue" any assailants.
  
  The ISIL video also featured images of Chinese riot police guarding mosques, patrolling Uighur markets, and arresting men in what appears to be western China. The Chinese flag is pictured engulfed in flames.
  
  Clarke said the hints of a Uighur split could "intensify the threat to China" as it indicates Uighur fighters may be able to tap into the capabilities of both ISIL and al-Qaeda.
  
  Overseas analysts have up to now expressed doubts about the strength of Uighur fighters, with some saying China exaggerates the threat to justify tough security.

ISIS Chief Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi Acknowledges Defeat In Iraq In Farewell Speech

Story Highlights

• Iraqi army has intensified force to regain Mosul, controlled by ISIS
• ISIS is fleeing from Iraq to areas controlled by them in Syria
• Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi carries a $10 million bounty on his head

Cairo: The ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has acknowledged the group's defeat in Iraq in a 'farewell speech' and ordered his non-Arab fighters to either return to their countries or detonate themselves, according to media reports.



Baghdadi, who had declared himself as 'Caliph', issued a statement titled 'farewell speech' which was distributed among ISIS' preachers and clerics yesterday, as Iraqi army tightened noose around the group's last remaining territory in Mosul, Al-Arabiya reported, quoting Iraqi TV network Alsumaria.

Citing the sources in the Iraqi governorate of Nineveh, the report said Baghdadi ordered the closure of the ISIS office regulating the group's fighters and asked the group's non-Arab fighters to either return to their countries or detonate themselves, promising them "72 women in heaven." Baghdadi, who has reportedly been wounded multiple times, carries a USD 10 million bounty on his head.


It is not clear if he is in the besieged city, where he declared his 'Caliphate' in 2014 after the ISIS seized territory covering much of eastern Syria and northern Iraq.

Many of ISIS' terrorists in Iraq have now fled towards the area controlled by the group in neighbouring Syria, it added. Iraqi forces backed by international and US aid launched a massive operation to retake Mosul on October 17. In January, they captured the eastern side of Mosul -- the last ISIS-held city in Iraq.

Reasons Why Daesh Chief Al-Baghdadi's 'Farewell' Looks Totally Fake



12:13 02.03.2017(updated 12:25 02.03.2017)
Commenting on Wednesday's reports that Daesh leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has issued his "farewell sermon" where he admitted the defeat of the terrorist group and urged the jihadists to "flee and hide," Russian political analysts explained why it looks completely fake and why the figure of the Daesh chief himself also raises certain doubts.

Degraded and Destroyed? Daesh Leader Al-Baghdadi Allegedly Admits Failure in Iraq, Orders Retreat
On Wednesday, independent Iraqi news network Alsumaria reported that Daesh (Islamic State/ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has acknowledged the terrorist group's defeat in Iraq and urged his supporters to take refuge in the country's mountainous regions.


The outlet said that the Daesh chief has issued what it called a "farewell speech" specifically directing the terrorists to flee besieged Mosul, their last major stronghold in Iraq or "blow themselves up when surrounded by Iraqi forces."

Alsumaria quoted a source in Nineveh province as saying that al-Baghdadi circulated his address among Daesh preachers to deliver it to fighters at different locations in Mosul.

Commenting on the reports, defense analyst Anton Mardasov, who heads the Department of Middle Eastern Conflicts of the Moscow-based Institute of Innovative Development, pointed out why the figure of the Daesh chief himself raises certain doubts.

Al-Baghdadi was one of the ideologists of the self-proclaimed Caliphate, he told Russia's online newspaper Vzglyad. He perfectly knows the Quran and manipulates the Islam, fitting the religious foundation under his political ideas.

The Daesh chief, he said, has developed the ideology of the Islamic State where he specified what differs this particular organization from other groups.

However, Mardasov further noted, there has been no reliable information about him since 2015 even though different Iraqi media sources regularly report about his alleged whereabouts and even about his death.

Al-Baghdadi's "Farewell" Decoy: Daesh 'Retreating to Regroup and Strike Again'
The expert suggested that Wednesday's report might have been fake news released by the Iraqi agencies in order to have a certain effect on the Islamists. He further explained why it seems to be fake.


"The Islamic State has never released any information about its defeats or otherwise losses. It is nontypical for the news agenda of the organization," he said.

However he further noted that within the group, the idea to flee to the hard-to-reach areas and dissolve among civil population has been discussed long time ago

Meanwhile, Sergei Seregichev, an expert at the Institute for Middle Eastern Studies has called al-Baghdadi nothing but a "talking head" of this umbrella organization.

"He is somewhat of a press-secretary," he told Vzglyad.

"The group itself is a network structure which looks very similar to that of mujahideens in the times of the Afghan war," he said.

He further suggested that in fact those are the field commanders who are in control of the group's activities and who make important decisions and act independently.

"Each field commander controls his own area where he fights and makes decisions," he said.


They will never get in the public eye, he added, as they or their relatives will get easily targeted and eliminated. Such field commanders, he said, might not necessarily look like mujahideens, they might be even wearing NATO's decent uniform and not wearing any beard.

Seregichev however noted that in the times of the media activism, there should be a certain flamboyant person who will occasionally voice certain theses on behalf of the organization.

"In reality, regardless of his impressive title and flamboyant appearance, al-Baghdadi does not make any decisions. He is simply a media image. And his task is to attract sponsor money and recruit young people into the ranks of the organization," he said.

He also suggested that this so-called "farewell speech" might have been aimed to imitate the running away of the terrorists in order to provoke an ill-planned attack of the Iraqi army on Mosul. Or, on the other hand, it might be misinformation released by the government forces to spread panic among the terrorists.

Meanwhile, political analyst, an expert in the Middle East and the Caucasus Stanislav Tarasov pointed out to Radio Sputnik at the timing of the al-Baghdadi's address.

"Look at the intrigue: only recently President Trump has received a new Pentagon's plan of the further fight against Daesh. He was only planning to start this fight, looking for potential allies and working out a strategy. And here comes the victory! The leader of the terrorists announces their defeat," he told Sputnik.

"It turns out that the US has already achieved its victory without even entering into any fight. It looks like the Islamic State is very much dependent on the US," he finally stated.
