For the first time in its history, the group declared that a local affiliate, the Islamic State in Iraq, was no longer part of al-Qaida. The renegade Iraqi group, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, had expanded its operations to Syria, taking over the regional branch Jabhat al-Nusra; but in the process, the group had defied orders from al-Qaida's amir, Ayman al-Zawahiri. Islamic State's actions, and increasingly aggressive posture towards fellow Jihadis, eventually ignited a Jihadi civil war - a period defined by internal tensions that ultimately turned global. This book presents the first exhaustive account of infighting within the global Jihadi movement UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/lords.parliament.uk?url=https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197685563.001.0001 ER -
