Government Crackdown: Is-Held Area and Video

government crackdown: The slickly produced video surfaced as IS propaganda has waned as the extremists continue to lose territory in Iraq and Syria under the onslaught of a U.S.-led coalition campaign against them, according to The Chronicle Herald. Bahrain is part of that coalition. The appeal for violence came in a video that also urges militants to attack the Sunni-ruled island Shiite majority amid a wider government crackdown on dissent there. In the IS video, images of Bahraini fighter jets are juxtaposed to footage of an airstrike hitting an IS-held area. Wherever the enemies of Allah are found, there is jihad. It also shows clips of a Bahrain-based Gulf Air flight, the King Fahd Causeway linking the island to Saudi Arabia and other sites in the capital, Manama. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
