Author(s): Abdallah Suleiman Ahmad Alshira'h

Abstract:

As a result of the world’s preoccupation with confronting the new epidemic of Corona, with which many terrorist groups in more than one region sought to prove that they are still capable of action and movement. The terrorist organizations called on their elements to exploit the epidemic to carry out terrorist operations in the world; This is mainly due to the fact that the organization, which lost its main areas of influence in Iraq, Syria and other regions of the Middle East, where these organizations tried to exploit this epidemic to reorganize its ranks again, and gain new strengths, especially with the announcement of the international coalition against this US-led organization. On March 20, 2020, the United States withdrew some of its forces in Iraq and repositioned them for fear of the outbreak of the new Corona virus among the coalition forces. Studies conducted by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova in May 2020, stated that the organization decided to exploit the conditions of the world under the pressure of “Covid-19” to escalate its attacks, as it carried out more than 20 attacks against the Kurds in separate areas, which led to the injury and death of dozens, and it succeeded. In smuggling elements from prisons, this is a very dangerous matter, because it confirms the organization's continued ability to recruit and include more elements, and what this means is the possibility of an escalation of its terrorist activities in the future.
