A 'Whistleblower' Says Everything You Think You Know About ISIS Is Wrong
Six months ago, as the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) sowed chaos and terror in Syria's civil war, an anonymous Twitter user posted a tantalizing promise.
"The first account to expose the secrets of ISIS and who runs it.. Who is al-Baghdadi? Have you seen his picture? The names of his council? What are his plans? Coming soon…" read the first tweet from @wikibaghdady on Dec. 10.
ISIS and its infamous leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi are now under even more scrutiny after it captured a string of cities in Iraq and closed in on the capital of Baghdad earlier this month. Amid fears that the country may disintegrate without outside help, the U.S. is sending military advisors to help reverse the militants' advance.
While the world scrambles to understand ISIS's military effectiveness and shocking brutality, @wikibaghdady has kept on tweeting fascinating allegations about the group's murky alliances and dubious motives.
Various theories have been posited as to who is behind the account, still active as of Jun. 13. Whether a disillusioned insider, a defector to rival jihadi group Jabhat al-Nusra (which gets very sympathetic treatment), or a group of people trying to undermine ISIS, the account has nearly 40,000 followers. Analyst Hassan Hassan told the Daily Beast that at least some of the revelations appear to be accurate, while others "should be taken with a pinch of salt."
Here are the most stunning allegations from the account's nearly one thousand tweets.
