Latest footage surfaces in ISIS forum
The beheading video that ISIS released last week was a vivid illustration of not only the group’s ruthlessness but also its growing media sophistication. The video, with its slick production values, spread rapidly on Twitter and YouTube.
ISIS, which now controls large stretches of Syria and Iraq, uses an elaborate web of social media accounts to recruit new members, mock the West in unusual ways and showcase its military and tech know-how.
In the latest example of this, a new video appeared this past weekend in an official ISIS forum showing ISIS forces preparing to conquer a key military base in Raqqa in northern Syria.

My Comment: The video of the drone is at the 1:56 mark. This is a disturbing video in every-way .... it shows the Islamic State for who they are ... brutal, smart, and effective fighters who are using technology to their advantage. One cannot compare them to Al Qaeda .... they are clearly unique and far more dangerous.
