| BIFM members want to join ISIS |
| 2014-08-31 |
| There are members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement (BIFM) in Saudi Arabia who plan to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). A reliable source in Jeddah said they have been holding planning meetings. But so far none has been able to get to Syria from Jeddah because Saudi officials have clamped down, particularly with the arrest early this week of eight Saudi nationals who were accused of recruiting members for a foreign extremist group. "Please don’t mention my name,” said the source. Abu Misry Mama, spokesman for the BIFM/BIFF confirmed some of his followers are in Saudi Arabia and some other Middle East countries. He said there were no reports yet whether any of the BIFF members were able to infiltrate Syria or Iraq. Mama said, "But it is not impossible there may already be some of our members there (with the ISIS)," citing the mubaaya (pact) that BIFM Vice Chairman for Political Affairs Ustadhz Ismael Abubakar and ISIS chieftain Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. Mama said his group will certainly provide fighters to the ISIS if asked. |
