Iraqi Side: Coalition Forces and Stake Ownership

iraqi side: Still, rather late off the mark, taking credit for the Tuesday terrorist attack in New York City, not till overnight Thursday posting a boastful claim on an Arabic language newspaper for the truck-on-pedestrians rampage that killed eight and injured a dozen, according to Toronto Star. Perhaps they needed that time to check their Rolodex for known acolytes, although Daesh has never needed actual confirmation to stake ownership of violence in the past. Squeezed on both the Syrian and Iraqi side by coalition forces, Daesh also known as ISIS lost more of its shrinking patch of territory along the border this week. A soldier of the Islamic state the bulletin bragged about Sayfullo Saipov, regurgitating details that appear culled from media reports, while simultaneously repeating its claim for last month's slaughter in Las Vegas. And propaganda is pretty much all Daesh has left, while transforming from territory-holding de facto emirate to, it hopes, transnational organization picking up the pieces. Any misfit-wacko-lone wolf will do for propaganda purposes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
