The leader of the ISIS terrorist group Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi called on Muslims to wage "jihad" in a purported new audio recording released on Wednesday. He also called for attacks in the West in the Telegram message on Eid al-Adha, which comes as ISIS has lost most of its territory in Iraq and Syria. It is the first purported recording of the ISIS leader to be released since September last year.

"Those who forget their religion, patience, jihad against their enemies, and their certainty in the creator's promise lose and are disgraced," the leader said. "But when they hold on to it, they are mighty and victorious, even if after a certain time." ISIS overran large swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014, proclaiming a "caliphate". But they have since lost most of that to various offensives in both countries.
