Saudi Arabia: Daesh Video and Government Crackdown

saudi arabia: Daesh propaganda has waned as the extremists continue to lose territory in Iraq and Syria under the onslaught of a U.S.-led campaign, according to Toronto Star. Bahrain is part of the anti-Daesh coalition. The appeal came in a video that also urges militants to attack the Sunni-ruled island Shiite majority, amid a wide-scale government crackdown on dissent. In the Daesh video, images of Bahraini fighter jets are juxtaposed to footage of an airstrike hitting a Daesh-held area. Wherever the enemies of Allah are found, there is jihad. It also shows clips of a Bahrain-based Gulf Air flight, the King Fahd Causeway linking the island to Saudi Arabia, and other sites in the capital, Manama. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
