A group calling itself “The Brazil Caliphate” has pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed leader of the Islamic State, sparking fresh concerns about the nation’s ability to safeguard the upcoming Summer Olympics.
In the July 17 pledge, “Ansar al-Khilafah Brazil” posted to its Telegram channel an allegiance to al-Baghdadi, the “Emir of the Believers, the Caliph of the Muslims,” and promised to fully obey him in establishing “the religion of Allah” against “the enemy.”
Among the group’s other entries on the channel are links to more Islamic State “Nashir” propaganda channels in Spanish and Portuguese, links to previous issues of ISIS’ glossy Dabiq Magazine, Nasheeds or jihadi songs, and a speech by ISIS spokesman Al Adnani, translated into English and Portuguese.
