ISIS strikes in Berlin, Jordan – and Mosul too

DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. December 21, 2016, 8:38 AM (IDT)

The city of Berlin and the Jordanian Crusader town of Karak are 3,000km apart, but the distance did not stop Islamic State killers from taking 26 lives, inuring 18 others in the two countries - some very seriously, and causing the Israeli Dalia Elkayam to disappear. These episodes are not over and done with in Germany and the war against ISIS in southern Jordan has only just begun.

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
