International Business Times: Who Is Abu Mohammad Al-Adnani? Pentagon Contradicts Russia’s Claim Of Killing ISIS Spokesman In Syria Airstrike
The Pentagon confirmed Monday that a U.S. airstrike in Syria last month killed the Islamic State group's spokesman and chief strategist Abu Mohammad al-Adnani. Adnani is listed as the leader of ISIS' Emni group, a unit that orchestrates attacks outside of the Middle East, by the Counter Extremism Project. The U.S. State Department named him a terrorist in 2014 and later described him as "the main conduit for the dissemination of ISIL messages."

Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
