Ayman al Zawahiri has sworn allegiance to the Taliban's new
leader, Mullah Haibatullah. Zawahiri's oath of bay'ah continues a tradition

The Turkistan Islamic Party released an audio message from its
leader, Abdul Haq, on May 30. The message is the latest indication that Abdul
Haq survived a US drone strike in 2010. The man identified as Haq blasts the
Islamic State's so-called caliphate and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan
(IMU), which swore allegiance to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi in 2015. Haq claims the
IMU has "disappeared" since.
