CAIRO, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Somalia's Islamic State affiliate,
one of the most important outposts of the militant group, swore
allegiance in a statement on Sunday to the new leader named by
the organization following the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Somalia's Province posted pictures on Telegram of around a
dozen fighters standing among trees, with a caption saying they
were pledging allegiance to Quraishi.
Quraishi was named as the organization's leader on Thursday
in an audio message that also confirmed Baghdadi's death and
vowed revenge against the United States. U.S. special forces
killed Baghdadi in a raid in northwest Syria.
