Al Qaeda in Iraq's emir announced a new brand for his organization's efforts in Iraq and Syria: the "Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant." The name replaces all previous names used by the group, including the Al Nusrah Front in Syria, which was a creation of AQI.
Jihadist social media sites are asking supporters to pray for Abdullah Azzam al Qahtani, an al Qaeda in Iraq leader who admittedly proposed an attack against the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Al Qahtani, the sites say, was scheduled to be executed inside Iraq this week.
