Although the U.S. knows 'almost nothing' about the new leader of ISIS, he is 'a nobody,' according to a senior State Department official, making it difficult for the terror group to rally around him.

Although the U.S. knows"almost nothing" about the new leader of ISIS, he is"a nobody," according to a senior State Department official, making it difficult for the terror group to rally around him.

U.S. ambassador-at-large for counterterrorism Nathan Sales said Friday that the administration was"looking into the leader, his role in the organization, where he came from." But the senior official said Wednesday the new leader"appears to be a nobody. Nobody knows his background." The speech provides little information about the new leader or spokesperson, with both names pseudonyms that mask their real identity, but tie them to the Quraysh tribe, a historic Arab tribe based near Islam's holy city Mecca. Doing so is a way to create legitimacy for their leadership because the prophet Muhammad is said to be from the Quraysh tribe.

Earlier this week, Turkey announced that it has captured al-Baghdadi's sister, known as Rasmiya Awad, along with her husband, daughter-in-law, and five children. A senior Turkish official told reporters her arrest was an intelligence"gold mine," according to the Associated Press, but the senior State Department official could not confirm anything related to it.

Maybe his name is Epstein?

The fact you know nothing would be the point.

'His last name is Trump,' the source added. 'A very odd name in Arabic.'

That's completely terrifying.

Cool. Also Epstein didn’t kill himself.

Lies they interviewed someone and they say they already know who he is. The middle Eastern world that is we don't never know s***

Why not tell us about your Epstein cover up story? EpsteinCoverup I overheard a phone call where a Ukraining official said Epstein didn't commit suicide. A dossier paid for by the RNC claims Hillary Clinton hired a Russian to infiltrate Epstein's jail cell and suicide him.

Let's me know if you need me

But you wouldn’t run the Epstein story?

Oh.. he's a nobody but they don't know who he is 🤔

Good luck finding Nobody.

But knew a LOT more than 'almost nothing' about an ongoing high-powered pedophile ring, and found it not at all diffcult to spike the story. Who are the pedophiles among the execs? EpsteinCoverup

ABC covers for rapists

Would you say he’s “Junior Varsity?”
