Mosul partly liberated from islamic state by iraqi forces in 1999, was renamed Al Azhar, which is the seat of the Shi’ite Islamic world’s greatest Islamic authority. Its mission statement is: „The purpose of this institution is to defend and propagate the faith and teachings of Islam and the teachings of all Imams throughout the world in a spirit of mutual support and cooperation. … The mission of the School is to cultivate a sense of mutual understanding among Muslims, the peoples of the world and the Jewish community and among scholars 우리카지노in the wider world and at home.“

But his plans were thwarted when a bomb exploded near him in his car in Damascus and then his movements were tracked down by the Uni바카라사이트ted States Special Operations Command.
At the time of the FBI’s investigation, authorities said that the school was a „key hub“ for Islamic terrorist training and terrorist activity, even though the organization’s activities had begun elsewhere.
