ISIS killing dozens of its own members in hunt for spies - Polidicks

[quote]BAGHDAD - In March, a senior commander with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was driving through northern Syria on orders to lead militants in the fighting there when a drone blasted his vehicle to oblivion. The killing of Abu Hayjaa al-Tunsi, a Tunisian jihadi, sparked a panicked hunt within the group's ranks for spies who could have tipped off the U.S-led coalition about his closely guarded movements. By the time it was over, the group would kill 38 of its own members on suspicion of acting as informants. They were among dozens of ISIS members killed by their own leadership in recent months in a vicious purge after a string of airstrikes killed prominent figures. Others have disappeared into prisons and still more have fled, fearing they could be next as the jihadi group turns on itself in the hunt for moles, according to Syrian opposition activists, Kurdish militia commanders, several Iraqi intelligence officials and an informant for the Iraqi government who worked within ISIS ranks. The fear of informants has fueled paranoia among the militants' ranks. A mobile phone or internet connection can raise suspicions. As a warning to others, ISIS has displayed the bodies of some suspected spies in public - or used particularly gruesome methods, including reportedly dropping some into a vat of acid. ISIS "commanders don't dare come from Iraq to Syria because they are being liquidated" by airstrikes, said Bebars al-Talawy, an opposition activist in Syria who monitors the jihadi group. Over the past months, American officials have said that the U.S. has killed a string of top commanders from the group, including its "minister of war" Omar al-Shishani, feared Iraqi militant Shaker Wuhayeb, also known as Abu Wahib, as well as a top finance official known by several names, including Haji Iman, Abu Alaa al-Afari or Abu Ali Al-Anbari.

[I]What if I'm a spy? Or you?[/I]

Sounds like a job for the Figgis Agency

You can bet there are also many innocents caught in this.

I'm getting some Meet the Spy trailer for TF2 flashbacks over here.

Information (or disinformation.) wins wars just as much as Soldiers do. I'm glad to hear they're in chaos.

[QUOTE=InvaderNouga;50463268]How is that insensitive?

[QUOTE=Nerts;50463961]Yeah, no one deserves it, but at least this time they're doing it to themselves instead of random civilians.[/QUOTE] Do you really think while executing their own people because they don't know who is a spy no random civilians will be caught?

[QUOTE=Killuah;50464242]Do you really think while executing their own people because they don't know who is a spy no random civilians will be caught?[/QUOTE] Innocent people get caught up in shit all the time,doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate the fact that ISIS power is declining and their destabilization will only make things better in the long run.

[QUOTE=Tarver;50464269]Innocent people get caught up in shit all the time,doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate the fact that ISIS power is declining and their destabilization will only make things better in the long run.[/QUOTE] Exactly, it might not be an ideal solution, but at least something is happening to show that they're getting weaker.

[QUOTE=Tarver;50464269]Innocent people get caught up in shit all the time,doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate the fact that ISIS power is declining and their destabilization will only make things better in the long run.[/QUOTE] Not saying that

[QUOTE=Killuah;50464307]Not saying that[/QUOTE] What is it then?

[QUOTE=Killuah;50464242]Do you really think while executing their own people because they don't know who is a spy no random civilians will be caught?[/QUOTE] It's shit but it's less shit than them being able to focus on their goals.

[QUOTE=Tarver;50464319]What is it then?[/QUOTE] That [quote]but at least this time they're doing it to themselves instead of random civilians.[/quote] is not completely true

[QUOTE=Killuah;50464478]That is not completely true[/QUOTE] Ah I see

There's nothing to feel bad about in the video about their plans failing so like I said fuck those guys.
