IS launches `holiday brochure’ to lure jihadis

           Britain arrests radical preacher Islamic leader Choudary

Prominent British radical Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary was arrested in London for promoting the Islamic State. Choudary, 42, and an associate, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, 32, were charged under Britain’s Terrorism act of inviting “support for a proscribed terrorist organization known as ISIS,” the London Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

The Crown Prosecution Service said, “It is alleged that Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Rahman invited support for ISIS in individual lectures which were subsequently published online,” in statement. Sue Hemming of the Prosecution Service said Choudary and Rahman are accused of generating “support for ISIS in individual lectures which were subsequently published online.” Britain has initiated tough laws against terrorism in a strategy aimed at undercutting of IS recruitment in the country. Choudary is known in Britain for inflammatory statements, including the recent blame of the United States for radicalizing the masked executioner seen in IS videos and known as “Jihadi John.”

In a bid to lure wannabe jihadists, the Islamic State has come out with a bizarre online `holiday brochure’ offering travellers swimming, sunshine and beekeeping in war-torn Iraq. The new holiday brochure offers tourists sunshine, swimming and the opportunity to sample local delicacies in an exotic locale.But to enjoy the facilities one will have to travel to wartorn lands under the control of the Islamic State.

The jihadi spin doctors released the new brochure showing men diving in the Tigris river in Iraq, enjoying swimming at a picturesque pool and even beekeepers and the honey they produce.The pool pictures showing men enjoying a swim come after a recent Islamic State video showed the execution of four men by drowning as they were put in a cage and lowered into a pool. The terror group has been running a sophisticated propaganda operation that extols the virtues of their new regime.

Last month, IS posted pictures of tempting choc bars, a bridal boutique and a shopping mall to lure British jihadists to Mosul in Iraq. They have also boasted of the fivestar Nineveh hotel on the river Tigris that has been reopened. The IS led by Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, a former al-Qaida commander in Iraq, has gone on to build a global network of affiliates and branches that now stretches from Afghanistan to West Africa.

Meanwhile, Islamic State supporters have reportedly also launched an Android app, allowing others to keep up with news and videos as they are released, reported media from England.
