Covert allies? What is the relationship between ISIS-K* and the US?
Recent data reveals that the perpetrators of the heinous massacre on Crocus City Hall were allegedly recruited via a Telegram channel administered by members of 'Wilayat Khorasan'*, also recognized as ISIS-K*, per a Sputnik source. As we delve deeper into the motive behind this branch of ISIS*, Sputnik has put together essential facts and clues linking the US to these notorious jihadists.

“The nearly four-year Syrian conflict has claimed over 200,000 lives, displaced a third of Syria’s population, and nurtured many armed opposition groups including the Islamic State (Isis) extremist group which now rules over vast swaths of Syria and neighboring Iraq.
According to the letter, McCain entered Syria in May 2013 and “met with terrorist groups, including leaders of the Nusrah Front” which has been designated by the security council as an al-Qaida linked terrorist organization.
It said al-Tabtaba’i entered Syria in September 2013 and “provided money and arms to terrorists in Syria and took part in combat with them”.
Kouchner entered Syria last month and “visited a number of Syrian cities without the consent or knowledge of the Syrian government”, the letter said.
Galbraith also entered Syria last month “accompanied by three American political and military leaders”, it said.”

There’s more than one photo.
And the media went nuts trying to “debunk” it but it happened.
meganc is a proven liar on this forum.
> not even having a single armed guard present at the concert with a warning about terrorism having been received.
I guess a negative consequence of “liberalizing” Russia?
So, the US does a lot better here regarding public venues and schools?
It was debunked because that isn’t the guy the conspiracy people needed it to be.
The conspiracy was that the guy who was a commander of the Northern Storm Brigade was supposed to be al-Baghdadi.
“it was debooooonked because the media says so”
Just like Biden wasn’t wearing a hard hat backwards, John Edwards didn’t cheat on his wife, and Hillary didn’t have classified data on her private server.
The question is what do the Russians expect to happen if their public blames the US for the massacre. The reasonable assumption that they will then support an attack on the U.S. This is what Sputnik/Putin is laying a foundation for.
You’re projecting, Jo
Give the personal insults & hate a rest, you’re ruining FR
It was debunked because it was obviously fake nonsense.
Nope, those woke ba$tards at Battle Creek are trying to destroy America through other means.
Oh No, Zeepers can’t handle the truth.
Ha.
That would be a special Isis K.🥣
Isis is al-qeada by the way.
We went from fighting al-qeada to flying air cover for them in Syria and Libya.
And providing them weapons.
Which made their way back to Iraq and Afghanistan for use against us.
Thanks Obama.
No, they don’t like it.
The followers of Bin Laden enlisted to fight the Syrian Civil War Peter Hitchens described it as the West taking sides with one brand of Islam (Sunni) over the other brand (Shia).
When their efforts faltered then in came ISIS and Shamima Begum’s lawyers trying to get her UK citizenship back revealed that a Canadian intel operative in Turkey helped her and other teenage girls (underage) to get into Syria to join ISIS.
Who does Canadian intelligence work with in “Five Eyes”?
“The followers of Bin Laden enlisted to fight the Syrian Civil War Peter Hitchens described it as the West taking sides with one brand of Islam (Sunni) over the other brand (Shia).”
That’s Peter Hitchens take. The truth is more complex, and for the U.S. it had little to do with Sunni-Shia rivalry than a pathological desire to oust Assad, period. That Sunni-Shia rivalries entered into it was a consequence of U.S. actions, not an intent.
Did Sunni radicals (besides ISIS) from outside Syria “volunteer” to get involved against Assad. For sure and particularly again the “vetting” was outsourced to Middle East powers, like the Saudis and Turkey, which meant, again it became their agendas at play. Consequences. The U.S. belatedly saw what they had gotten into, and concentrated instead on their alliance with the Kurds - who were very significant in the later fights against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
I have often written how the U.S. pathology against Assad, and the long running covert bolstering of a strong “Syrian opposition” (begun by GWBush) was stupid in that it took a security situation - regarding Assad, that was stable and contained, and in massive error made Russia and the Mullahs in Tehran stronger in the Middle East than before, multiplying manyfold the risks that Assad had ever presented.
Blunders and consequences more than intentions.
“meganc is a proven liar on this forum.”
And you’re a wonderful and talented individual who’s totally NOT a Ruzzian troll who gets paid by the word for his annoying troll posts on this and other forums.
somebody oughta ask Pansy Graham...
In order to support the faltering attack on Ukraine, Putin thinned out Russia's internal security and border protections. In addition, many jobs in the civilian sector left vacant by the draft and recruitment and by the flight of young men to avoid being drafted were permitted to be filled by Muslims from restive areas in and near Russia.
The net result was to create a major vulnerability to Muslim terrorism. In this instance, it was to terrorists apparently recruited among the Tajiks and likely trained in Afghanistan. Here again, Putin and Russia foolishly failed to protect against a major security threat caused by the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
