Defense One: ISIS Says Secret Weapons Await Coalition Forces In Battle for Raqqa
The terror group makes some big claims about its homegrown arsenal in the latest issue of its online magazine.
On Sunday, the Islamic State released the latest issue of its online magazine Rumiyha. In it, an ISIS military leader in Raqqa, Syria, claims to have secret weapons for use against the coalition forces that are besieging the group’s capital city.
Rumiyah, like its predecessors Dabiq and Dar al-Islam, is full of the sort of unverifiable claims and outright distortions that you might expect from a piece of propaganda fabricated by an apocalyptic death cult. But it also provides a window into the group’s stated goals and a possible showcase of future techniques.
The issue features a lengthy interview with a man identified as the “military commander of the city of Raqqa,” who said coalition forces should expect to encounter more improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, in houses, a tactic he called “among the most successful means of defense against the advance” of the coalition forces who took Mosul, Iraq, earlier this year. The commander also promises wider use of vehicle-borne IEDs — cars and trucks loaded with explosives — and claims that ISIS has segmented Raqqa into “small sections that could function individually in emergency situations and could independently pursue their objectives.” Most importantly, he says, the Islamic State might unleash “other types of weapons which Allah has bestowed upon the Mujahidin and which we have not yet revealed.”
