– Feds Reverse Course, Release Full, Unedited 911 Transcript Following Public Outcry:
Facing pressure from Republican leaders, the Justice Department made an abrupt about-face on Monday, releasing the full transcript of a 911 call made by Orlando shooter Omar Mateen, after originally redacting references to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The redaction, which sparked intense controversy, was meant to prevent the extremist group from using the attack as propaganda, the Justice Department said in a Monday afternoon statement.
“Unfortunately, the unreleased portions of the transcript that named the terrorist organizations and leaders have caused an unnecessary distraction from the hard work that the FBI and our law enforcement partners have been doing to investigate this heinous crime,” the department said.

“The security and popular forces have held captive an Israeli colonel,” a commander of Iraq’s popular mobilization forces said on Thursday.
“The Zionist officer is ranked colonel and had participated in the Takfiri ISIL group’s terrorist operations,” he added.
He just forgot to mention somehow that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is a Mossad agent and that ISIS is an operation run by the CIA and the Mossad.
– Israeli defense minister says ISIS funded with ‘Turkish money’:
Israel’s defense minister has alleged that the Islamic State terror group has long been funded with “Turkish money.”“As you know, Daesh (Islamic State, previously ISIS/ISIL) enjoyed Turkish money for oil for a very, very long period of time.

– ISIS confirms ‘Jihadi John’ is dead:
Islamic State has confirmed that ‘Jihadi John,’ a British jihadist featured in many of the group’s execution videos, was killed in an airstrike in Syria.The latest issues of IS’ magazine, Dabiq, confirmed that Abu Muharib Al-Muhajir, who “made headlines around the world as Jihadi John” had indeed been killed. His car was targeted in a “strike by an unmanned drone”, which killed the terrorist “instantly.”
Although ISIS releases nearly 40 pieces of propaganda each and every day via the group’s sprawling network of production units located in at least a dozen countries, one person you don’t hear from very often is TIME magazine’s runner-up for “person of the year”, Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The ISIS chief – who was once held in a US jail in Iraq – is notoriously reclusive and hasn’t been seen in public since last year’s speech in Mosul in which he declared himself caliph. On Saturday, Baghdadi has released a new audio clip in which he assures the world that neither the US nor Russia has weakened the group. He also threatens attacks on Israel.
