Islamic State lashes out at Syria’s interim president as ‘puppet without a soul,’ urges new attacks

  • An audio released late Saturday by the Islamic State group called on followers to attack Jewish and Western targets and denounced Syria's interim president as a `puppet without a soul`, Al-Furati said.
  • Insurgents led by Ahmad al-Sharaa's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham marched to Damascus and removed Bashar Assad, making al-Sharaa interim president who improved Western ties and visited Washington last year.
  • This audio is the first IS message in months, arriving after deadly attacks blamed on IS across Syria, Iraq and Pakistan; it omitted the transfer of 5,704 suspected IS detainees and included greetings from leader Abu Hafs al-Hashemi al-Qurayshi, named three years ago.
  • Al-Furati acknowledged IS lost fighters over two years due to U.S.-led coalition attacks and highlighted fears that Americans, Shiites, and Kurdish fighters strive to prevent detainee escapes.
  • A U.N. report earlier this month warned of five foiled assassination attempts last year targeting Syria’s president and ministers, while al-Hol camp, once housing over 24,000 people, is now almost empty after government forces took control last month.
