伊斯兰国组织头目发声

The secretive leader of the Islamic State terror group is speaking out after nearly a year of silence, urging his supporters to persevere while warning of “dark days” for his enemies.

The terror group’s al-Furqan media division issued the 54-minute speech purportedly from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, titled "Give Glad Tidings to the Patient,” on Wednesday.

In it, he shares wishes for a blessed Eid al-Adha, a feast celebrated this week, and urges IS supporters not to relent.

He also tells supporters it is the United States, and not IS, that is crumbling.

U.S. military and intelligence officials are aware of the new audio recording but have yet to verify that the voice on the tape is, in fact, Baghdadi.

But analysts contacted by VOA believe the audio is likely both authentic and also recent, pointing to the Eid al-Adha greetings, and references to U.S. tensions with Turkey over the detention of Pastor Andrew Brunson, and fighting between IS and Syrian forces.

极少公开露面的伊斯兰国组织头目在沉默了将近一年后发声，呼吁支持者继续坚持，并警告说，敌人将面临“黑暗的日子”。

伊斯兰国组织星期三公布了据信是其领袖的阿布·贝克尔·巴格达迪的54分钟讲话，题目是“给有耐心的人们以好消息”。

巴格达迪在讲话中祝贺这个星期的古尔邦节，敦促伊斯兰国的支持者不要放弃。

他还对支持者说，正在崩溃的是美国，而不是伊斯兰国组织。

美国军方和情报界官员知道这个新发布的音频，但是还没有确认讲话者是巴格达迪。

不过，一些分析人士对美国之音说，很可能就是巴格达迪的音频，而且应该是最近发布的，因为讲话中提到了古尔邦节，美国与土耳其有关布伦森牧师的争端，以及伊斯兰国组织与叙利亚武装的交战。
