伊斯蘭國組織頭目發聲

The secretive leader of the Islamic State terror group is speaking out after nearly a year of silence, urging his supporters to persevere while warning of “dark days” for his enemies.

The terror group’s al-Furqan media division issued the 54-minute speech purportedly from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, titled "Give Glad Tidings to the Patient,” on Wednesday.

In it, he shares wishes for a blessed Eid al-Adha, a feast celebrated this week, and urges IS supporters not to relent.

He also tells supporters it is the United States, and not IS, that is crumbling.

U.S. military and intelligence officials are aware of the new audio recording but have yet to verify that the voice on the tape is, in fact, Baghdadi.

But analysts contacted by VOA believe the audio is likely both authentic and also recent, pointing to the Eid al-Adha greetings, and references to U.S. tensions with Turkey over the detention of Pastor Andrew Brunson, and fighting between IS and Syrian forces.極少公開露面的伊斯蘭國組織頭目在沉默了將近一年後發聲，呼籲支持者繼續堅持，並警告說，敵人將面臨“黑暗的日子”。

伊斯蘭國組織星期三公佈了據信是其領袖的阿布·貝克爾·巴格達迪的54分鐘講話，題目是“給有耐心的人們以好消息”。

巴格達迪在講話中祝賀這個星期的古爾邦節，敦促伊斯蘭國的支持者不要放棄。

他還對支持者說，正在崩潰的是美國，而不是伊斯蘭國組織。

美國軍方和情報界官員知道這個新發布的音頻，但是還沒有確認講話者是巴格達迪。

不過，一些分析人士對美國之音說，很可能就是巴格達迪的音頻，而且應該是最近發佈的，因爲講話中提到了古爾邦節，美國與土耳其有關布倫森牧師的爭端，以及伊斯蘭國組織與敘利亞武裝的交戰。
