In an audio statement posted online that coincided with the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a spokesman for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), announced that the groups leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was the caliph, or leader, of a state whose territory extended from the city of Aleppo in northwestern Syria, to Diyala province in northeastern Iraq. The spokesman, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, described al-Baghdadi as the imam and khalifah (caliph) for the Muslims everywhere. He also said that with the establishment of the caliphate, the group was changing its name to just the Islamic State, dropping the mention of Iraq and the Levant. The legality of all emirates, groups, states and organizations becomes null by the expansion of the caliphs authority and the arrival of its troops to their areas, al-Adnani continued. Listen to your caliph and obey him. Support your state, which grows every day. foxnews/world/2014/06/30/sunni-militants-declare-islamic-state-in-iraq-and-syria/#
