Here the key points. Abu Loqman was wounded in the same targeted airstrike north of Aleppo that killed Abu Muhammad al Adnani in August 2016 – I find hard to process this big piece of info. They were touring together the frontline near al Bab
One week later a targeted airstrike killed Abu Muhammad al Furqan. We still don’t understand what happened in 2016. It was like a dozen of Abbottabad operations compressed in one year. The doers don’t talk about them because it’s not over yet
Abu Loqman is appointed head of Amniyat, the intelligence of the Islamic State, in March 2017. and "one month later he is in Libya for a brief time to reorganize the Islamic State there"
You may remember the Islamic State in Libya in complete disarray after the loss of Sirte in December 2016 (a prolonged siege) and the carpet bombing against the remaining forces hidden in a desert camp in January 2018. Three months later they rose their heads again
After the visit of Abu Loqman, Islamic State suicide bombers targeted the offices of Libya’s electoral commission in Tripoli on May 2, 2018 – “one of the most brazen assaults on the Libyan capital in years”
If you ask me the route of Abu Loqman to get from Raqqa to Libya, I don’t know. I just remember that Italian intelligence tracked down one of the top leaders in Libya, Moez Fezzani, in Khartoum, capital of Sudan, few months before in November 2016
The French DGSI does not confirm the death of Abu Loqman in Hajin in April 2018. By the way his kunya now would be Abu Ayyoub al Ansari – his name as chief of Amniyat – in case someone of the Islamic State posts an eulogy
In case you miss pieces of the stuff I’m tweeting, don’t worry. Kyle Orton will take them from here and will use them on his site without attribution to put some meat on his dissertations.
Kyle jumps on the source and then writes the same things – after. Never an original contribution. Last week I talked about a new batch of Islamic State biographies and he started “updating” his site with the same thingspic.twitter.com/ShPuW5QkIE
That's his "research methodology." We've documented dozens of instances. Dozens.
Bad behavior but meanwhile Kyle is the only analyst who provides translated Naba articles and speeches from ISIL leaders. Why don't other analysts make these available for an English speaking audience?
