Maqdisi had many admirers within the Islamist movement’s diaspora, from London to the Palestinian cities of the West Bank, and some of them were men with resources and extensive connections throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. Now they were learning through Maqdisi about his impressive assistant, an Afghan veteran of unusual courage and natural leadership ability.
Why is Maqdisi able to communicate with any of his followers? Pure fucking incompetence.
