A Twitter account which appears to have belonged to one of the two gunmen shot dead outside a Mohammed Cartoon contest in Texas Sunday night, posted a message swearing allegiance to ISIS around the time of the attack.
The account, @atawaakul, has now been removed by Twitter. Its profile picture was a photo of Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-educated cleric who became the influential mouthpiece of Yemen's Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) before being killed in a US drone strike.
In the message, the poster says: "The bro with me and myself have given ba'yah [allegiance - ed.] to Amirul Mu'mineen [leader of the believers - ed.], may allah accept us as mujahideen [holy warriors - ed.]" » | Ari Soffer | Monday, May 04, 2015
