TY - SER AU - Pereira, Ryan TI - Radical Change: : the Impact of Islamic State on Tunisia KW - Estado Islámico KW - Yihad KW - Túnez N2 - Since the March 2015 release of Islamic State’s (IS) “Tunis for us and not for the apostates” video, there has been a significant increase in the level of jihadist violence in Tunisia. Much of this has been driven by IS, which coordinates its grimly characteristic high profile, mass-casualty attacks from neighboring Libya. This was made explicit in the 2015 video, which showed a masked militant named Abu Yahya al-Tounessi calling on his brothers to join him in Libya and prepare for a wider campaign. “We are coming back to conquer Tunisia,” al-Tounessi warned. “I swear you will not be at ease now with the Islamic State a few kilometers from you just across the border.” UR - http://www.jamestown.org/uploads/media/Terrorism_Monitor_Volume_XIV_Issue_10.pdf ER -
