I didn't realize ISIL was still a thing.
They got quite reduced but apparently had many operations planned in Europe that were thwarted.
US intelligence even warned Russia earlier this month that an attack like this was suspected.
@sentient_loom yeah they're still a thing, just very loose-knit. Eg "the Ansars" in this article on Cabo Delgado.
