ISIS Says Manchester Attack a Preview of Their 'Rekindled' Post-Caliphate Terror Ops
2017-06-08
No!! Really??
![PJ] ISIS vowed that the Manchester attack is a harbinger of what's to come as Islamic State territory falls in Iraq and Syria and the terror group continues to "shift its focus towards carrying out attacks on Crusader soil."

The terror group didn't publish any new attack tactic tips in today's new issue of their Rumiyah magazine, but teased to a special forthcoming publication about how their followers should observe the last 10 days of Ramadan, which ends the evening of June 24.

"Just one week before the blessed month of Ramadan, the world’s attention was focused on the British city of Manchester. A soldier of the Khilafah had carried out a Just Terror operation, striking Manchester Arena at the conclusion of a concert by an American singer," said the foreword of the magazine, which was distributed in several languages online; "Just Terror" is the ISIS name for lone jihadist operations.

"The explosion rocked the city and filled its residents with terror as many of them scrambled to try to contact their loved ones and ensure that they were safe. Then, the casualty figures started emerging: More than 20 had been killed and dozens more had been wounded. The total would later climb to nearly 100 dead and wounded," the article continued. "In the wake of the bombing, the panic-ridden friends and relatives took to social media to enlist the help of strangers in the search for their loved ones, local pubs began offering free booze to emergency personnel in need of clearing their minds of the traumatic scenes they had witnessed, British 'Muslims' came out and offered their token denunciations out of fear of retaliation, massive numbers of police and military personnel were deployed on the streets, the UK threat level was raised to 'Critical,' politicians brought their campaigning for the upcoming general elections to a halt, the distraught and 'broken' American singer placed her European tour on hold and went home, and the Chelsea FC football team cancelled their victory parade in London."
And the next attack was handled so efficiently that football fans fought knife-wielding Lions of Islam to a standstill, tourists attacked them with skateboards, and the police shot them dead eight minutes after they started their bloody work. Oh, and Mayor Khan's veiled soft jihad of the law was brusquely unveiled, which will make things more interesting for him going forward.

#1  'No go' areas and the Parallel Government:

In military terms, this establishment of a parallel government, is called establishing a “Competitive system of control”.

Lt. Col. David Kilcullen, the world renowned expert on modern insurgencies and counter insurgencies, talks extensively about this in his book, “Out of the Mountains: The Coming Age of the Urban Guerrilla”.

In fact it is the central theme of his book and what he reckons is the key to the success of an insurgency as well as how to fight the insurgency.

Kilcullen is of the opinion, backed up by extensive research and experience, that in the old days people were more rural and therefore you found insurgents in the mountains, jungles and bush, but times are changing fast and people are urbanizing into Littoral Zones (areas by the sea) so insurgencies will be fought there in the future…Cape Town is a perfect example.

Kilcullen also mentions various other examples of the criminal, mafia like theory of competitive control that one sees in all insurgencies, but also in townships and communities all over the world…from the “Dons” in the Jamaican Garrison districts to the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
