Extremist Group Khorasan Joins IS Insurgents
BasNews ^ | 9/30/2014

Posted on 09/30/2014 4:55:54 PM PDT by markomalley

The Khorasan group, a small band of former members of Al-Qaeda, has pledged support for the so-called Islamic State caliph, Abubakr al-Baghdadi.

According to an audio recording released by Abu Dujana al-Afghani, Khorasan has aligned itself with the Islamic State.

Khorasan was part of al Qaeda until its leader was killed by a US drone strike in Syria.

Khorasan spokesman, Abu Dujana al-Afghani, says in the recording, “Khourasan leader Abu Yazid Qahir Khorasani and his companions have pledged allegiance to al-Baghdadi and they appeal to their supporters to join them with the Islamic State currently confronting the Western alliance.”

This event explains further conflicts between al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.

Meanwhile, America’s intelligence agencies consider Khorasan as a greater threat than IS and al-Qaeda since their target is western countries where they operate covertly, waiting to strike.

Did the unicorn army, bigfoot, Nessie and the leprechauns join in, too?

Well done. I’m glad to see that they are fighters and are led by a fighter, Barzani.

After ISIS is defeated and destroyed, maybe the Peshmerga can lend us a few of their leaders to head our government and military.

Khorasan could be an Eastern European supermodel or a cleaning product or a yeast infection medication.

Al Qa’eda is certainly on the run. Since the POTUS missed his daily briefings, he didn’t bother to find out which direction, though.

There is no such entity as Khorasan. Might as well say it's "Coruscant."

"Extremist Group Khorasan Joins IS Insurgents"

An Al Quaeda who never left Al Quaeda joining an Al Quaeda who never left Al Quaeda by any other names still smells just as much like pigs' balls.

This is a huge coup for ISIS. Now, if they can win the support of the People’s Front of Judea, we’ll pretty much have no choice but surrender.

I really don’t care whether a militant Mohammadan group is al-Qaeda or ibn al-Qaeda or abu al-Qaeda: it is still al-Qaeda. And Khorosan is definitely al-Qaeda.

Obama was lying when he said al-Qaeda was vanquished. And he is lying when he says Khorosan is anything but al-Qaeda. He might as well be arguing about the definition of “is”.

(BTW: ibn=son of and abu=father of)

Their is no such thing as the "Khorasan Group."

They are simply al Qaeda.

We can't call them AQ, however, because Obola claims to have destroyed them, so we have to pretend that a new group of Islaofascist crazies has magically appeared.

The mass murdering jihadists, who are formerly mass murdering jihadists, have joined the mass murdering jihadists.

I’m sure the precise org chart matters a great deal to the mass murdering jihadists, but to the rest of us its all just inside baseball.

People are transferring from other schools to join the JV? The peaceniks of the “religion of peace” don’t seem to be worried about the “hijackers”. They have countries, weaponry, manpower (billion+). Stand up, convert (oops they already have) or die, peaceniks.
