Islamic State Leader Baghdadi Issues New Call for Attacks in the West

(Washington Post) Liz Sly - Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Tuesday called for continued attacks in the West in a message marking the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday.

Baghdadi urged Islamic State supporters in the West to carry out more lone-wolf attacks.
