ISIS Activity Roundup
Between September 13 and 19, ISIS claimed credit for 13 attacks. ISIS claimed responsibility for six attacks in Nigeria, five in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and two attacks in Iraq.
ISIS media did not make posts claiming responsibility for attacks between September 9 and 15, which is an unusual gap for the group.
ISIS Al-Naba Editorial Encourages Steadfastness
The editorial in issue 565 of ISIS’s al-Naba newsletter, released on September 17, emphasized the importance of following what the authors consider the correct religious path and not being led astray. The authors claimed that many people promote falsehoods and seek to deter the spread of correct religious worship. The editorial pointed to ISIS leaders, religious officials, and fighters as role models for proper religious practice. The article concluded that steadfastness and patience were essential, and that what is considered good and correct is fixed and does not change over time.
An article in the same issue also encouraged steadfastness and sharing good news to inspire others. The article noted that inner loyalty to one’s faith was necessary to endure.
The articles on steadfastness were released after ISIS spokesperson Abu Hudhayfah Al-Ansari was reportedly killed in Yemen in a joint Saudi-Yemeni special forces operation.

Pro-ISIS Content Including Audio Released on September 16 and Offer to Share Explosives Guides Located on TikTok
In a sample of content located on TikTok on September 16, CEP researchers located 15 accounts that posted pro-ISIS content. Examples included ISIS propaganda posters, pages from the group’s al-Naba newsletter, audio content including nasheeds and voiceovers from ISIS leadership, and content from ISIS videos.
Six accounts posted an ISIS nasheed released on September 16 by the terrorist group’s Ajnad Media Foundation titled “Our Army is Coming with Revenge.” This is the first nasheed the Ajnad Media Foundation has released since 2020. One account, which slightly modified the audio to avoid its removal, noted that the song “speaks of preparing for what is to come,” referring to future attacks from ISIS and its supporters.
An account with 81 followers posted a redacted image of bomb making instructions on September 14 and noted that explosives could be made at home. The post encouraged viewers to contact a Telegram account, likely to get the full instructions for making explosive devices, a strategy pro-ISIS accounts on TikTok have previously used. TikTok had not removed the account six days after CEP reported it.
The 15 accounts averaged 939 followers, ranging from 29 to 5,481. CEP researchers reported the 15 accounts to TikTok on September 16. As of September 22, five of the accounts had been removed from the social media platform. CEP researchers specifically reported the six uploads of the ISIS nasheed released on September 16. By September 22, three of these videos had been removed.

Active Club Account Promotes Recruitment in Youth-Centered Spaces, Sport and Cultural Events
On September 13, one of the main Telegram accounts for the white supremacist Active Club movement noted the importance of recruiting in seemingly apolitical spaces. The post encouraged clubs to recruit in youth-centered spaces, sporting events, and cultural events, specifically mentioning hockey games, NASCAR races, and music shows. The channel encouraged recruitment narratives that emphasized excitement and fun and would be understandable to a wide audience, rather than focusing narrowly on political ideology. According to the post, the goal was to recruit new people to the movement who were not already part of the online extreme-right ecosystem.
The author referenced the former popularity of the white power skinhead scene in the U.S., rap events hosted by the Italian neo-fascist group Casapound, and National Socialist Black Metal concerts, commenting that these allowed for building a counter-cultural movement.
The post follows similar Active Club messages, such as a March 2022 blog post from Robert Rundo encouraging recruitment at sporting events, gyms, concerts, and community events.
U.S. Neo-Nazi Group Northeast Action Posts Cryptocurrency Fundraiser on Telegram
On September 13, the neo-Nazi group Northeast Action posted Bitcoin and Monero wallet addresses on Telegram, stating that donated funds would be used for the group’s “continued operation.” The Bitcoin wallet used a silent payment address to prevent others from viewing transactions.
Northeast Action announced its existence in November 2025 and claims to have members or conduct activity in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The group describes itself as a “pro-white, street-oriented fraternity dedicated to raising authentic resistance to the enemies of our people in the Northeast.” Northeast Action has noted joint events with Active Clubs in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, members of a chapter of the under-18 United Youth Club movement, and an event in Massachusetts held by the North American support branch of the Irish neo-fascist group Clann Éireann. Northeast Action’s activities have included graffiti, banner drops, boxing training, meetups, and small, flash-mob-style demonstrations.
The group’s aesthetic, geographic focus, and use of the term “nationalist club” on posters resemble those of the non-active group Nationalist Social Club 131, also known as NSC. In July 2026, NSC’s leader, Christopher Hood, admitted to violating New Hampshire’s discrimination laws following a June 2023 protest outside of a café hosting a drag queen story hour. Hood was fined $10,000 and ordered to complete 250 hours of community service. The New Hampshire Department of Justice noted that the group had sought “to intimidate the business into denying equal access based on protected characteristics.” The agreement with the state of New Hampshire also prohibited NSC members from engaging in unlawful discriminatory practices or “hate- or bias-motivated conduct.”

Canadian Active Club Chapter Creates New X Account
On September 12, the Canadian neo-Nazi group Nationalist-13, part of the global Active Club network, announced the creation of a new X account after an older account was suspended in either July or August. The group created the current account in August. At least two central X accounts affiliated with Nationalist-13 have been removed from the platform since 2023. The current and former X accounts have been used to post white supremacist propaganda, encourage recruitment, and deride perceived enemies.
