A video of a native of Ingushetia swearing an oath to ISIS has been published

A video of a native of Ingushetia, Amirkhan Gurazhev, who takes the oath of allegiance to Abu Hafs al-Qureishi, the leader of the terrorist organization “Islamic State,” has been published on the Internet.

Gurazhev’s speech was recorded entirely in Arabic, and the telegram channel @ConflictZone24, which posted it, reports that the video was published by “sources associated with the Islamic State.”

Let us remind you that Gurazhev and five other people were killed on March 3 in Karabulak during a counter-terrorist operation. For about 12 hours they blocked an apartment in a multi-storey building and were eliminated by Russian security forces.

In the video, Gurazhev (translated by the Fortanga publication) reports that he and his comrades are Mujahideen from the Caucasus. He quotes passages from the Koran and calls on his “Mujahideen brothers” to prepare for battle. In the name of Allah, he vowed to free his brothers from captivity, and his call applies to Muslims not only in Russia, but also in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and other countries.

After the CTO in Karabulak, Russian security forces named Amiran Gurazhev as one of the initiators of attacks on security forces in Ingushetia. In particular, in March 2023 - to the traffic police post in Kantyshevo.
