On November 11, ISIS’s official newspaper, al-Naba, released an infographic summarizing the results of the terrorist group’s recent attacks on Christian countries, their armies and Christian minorities around the world.
In the infographic, the terrorist group claimed that its cells carried out over the past four years 839 operations, including 28 suicide attacks, against Christian targets in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Siri Lanka, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Congo, Chad, Cameron, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, the United Kingdom, Austria and Russia.
ISIS said that its operations killed or wounded 5,198 Christians, including 80 military officers and political leaders. As for material losses, 260 vehicles were damaged or destroyed, four aircraft were shot down and two prisons were breached in the course of the operations.
The terrorist group also bragged about burning 2,781 houses, 36 military base and 67 church, claiming that its terrorists displaced tens of thousands of Christians.
After its rise in Syria and Iraq in 2014, ISIS made the persecution of Christians one of its main priorities. The terrorist attacked and displaced thousands of Christians in the two countries and several other areas around the world.
Despite the collapse of its Caliphate around four years ago, the terrorist group attacks on Christians are once again on the rise in areas like central and western Africa.
Al-Naba infographic is for sure filled with exaggerations that are meant to further ISIS agenda and improve its image among jihadists. Yet, there is no doubt that the terrorist group is still a vailed threat, especially to Christians minorities in the Middle East and Africa.
