The cover of a recently released DAESH manual intended for lone wolf terrorists in the United States and other English speaking countries. Executive Summary
On October 18, 2015, a DAESH promoter posted a 63-page English-language manual entitled Safety and Security Guidelines for Lone Wolf Mujahideen on Twitter. [1] Reportedly, three former members of Saddam Hussein’s intelligence service now with this jihadist organization in Raqqa, Syria, produced the document, which was adapted from an older al-Qaeda online Arabic language course. [2] The new manual advises clandestine small-cell and individual jihadist terrorists operating in Western countries on how to maintain security. Although these guidelines are based on al-Qaeda doctrine and tactics, they have been updated to include the latest technology and thinking. With the manual’s publication, DAESH has demonstrated its intention to create a new hybrid war weapon in its arsenal against the United States—a hidden weapon designed to be difficult to trace operationally back to the jihadist organization or to detect before an operation is executed. In the wake of the DAESH attacks on Paris on November 13, 2015, the United States and other English-speaking allies would do well to consider the instructions contained in this terrorist manual as another significant warning.

DAESH and al-Qaeda both claim the same Salafist-Jihadist ideology, and the leaders of both organizations have often called for attacks inside the United States. The two groups also share many of the same terrorist and small-group guerrilla tactics. However, before the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, one of the key differences often noted between DAESH and al-Qaeda was the former’s strategic priority on the “near†enemy, while al-Qaeda is known for its attacks on the United States and its European allies, which are considered “far†enemies. After Paris, that distinction between al-Qaeda’s and DAESH’s strategic targets is no longer valid, if indeed it ever was.
There are no Lone Wolf terrorists. They are all under the guidance of the prophet.
Who is pushing this “DAESH” BS?
It’s ISIS!!!! Get it, it’s ISIS!!!!
It’s ISIS and Global Warming.
No do overs liars.
ISIS = Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. “State” implies they have legitimacy as a government. Supposedly, Daesh (Die-esh) would be an acronym of their Arabic name, if acronyms were used in the Arabic speaking world. So it doesn’t make sense in Arabic, but it sounds like the word for “one who imposes their will on others” or “something that trample”. Some published reports say that they hate the name, and threaten to cut our the tongues of people using it. So, it’s not what they want to be called.
It’s ISIS!!!! Get it, it’s ISIS!!!
Does anyone else remember when The MSM twisted themselves inside out to keep from acknowledging that Al Queda was in Iraq, going so far as to refer to it as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula?
The left are domestic enemies in this country!
Yeah.
Monsieur Kerry pushed calling them Dash. It is an obfuscation.
I would think Jamestown Foundation wouldn’t go for it. It sounds stupid.
Obama always says ISIL because the L stands for Levant and that includes Israel. He likes that.
It is Islamic State.
Who is pushing this “DAESH” BS?...
Probably Obama. He loves the name changes because it makes it seem he vanquished the previously named group.
