Kyle Orton has an interesting text (originally a blog post) in Middle East Eye which steps into the debate between Russia and Turkey about their respective roles in empowering ISIL (Tuesday 22 December 2015 Russia, Turkey and the rise of the Islamic State). The trade in antiquities gets a passing mention and there are new (?) details about the Abu Sayyaf seizure. Conspiracy theorists who harbour reservations (like myself) about the true nature of the 'documentation' produced out of a hat by the US Government of Abu Sayyaf's involvement in the antiquities trade will get a nice hint from this text about potential motivation for faking it.Saturday, 2 January 2016
