"Iran Owes Al-Qaeda Invaluably," ISIS Spokesman Says
(Long War Journal) Bill Roggio - The spokesman of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham (ISIS), Abu Muhammad al Adnani, has said al-Qaeda has ordered its fighters and branches to refrain from attacking the Iranian state in order to preserve the terror group's network in the country. He said, "ISIS has not attacked the Rawafid [rejectionists, a term used to describe Shia Muslims] in Iran since its establishment....It has held back...its own anger for years to maintain the unity of the mujahideen....Let history record that Iran owes al-Qaeda invaluably."
