The Anbar attack this weekend in Albu Faraj near Ramadi shows ISIS took out an army barracks and killed a bunch of soldiers, beheading some of them. Today, ISIS also launched attacks against the Kurds in Hasaka.

It is getting more difficult to find reputable ISIS reporting on Twitter. While the accounts come back right after getting suspended, they change their names, and many lock their accounts. A lot of the English accounts are gone. (Whether it's because the authors are dead or were just Fanboys who were never there and have now lost interest since contemporaneous news is harder to come by, I don't know.) There is also a lot of repetition, and a surge of accounts by female ISIS supporters, who I have zero interest in reading. It just takes too much time now to wade through it all.

The media reports ISIS is out of money and losing everywhere. It seems they are getting far less press coverage, and journalists aren't taking them as seriously. There's no news on al Baghdadi, Abu Wabib or Omar Shishani -- or the whereabouts of Jihadi John (aka Mohammed Enwazi.) I think they are all still alive, but it's hard to know for sure.
