Stramed,  Rapid and massive attacks which had launched by the U military and allies in Northern Syria had been killed Islamic State/IS caliph, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, 3 his son and many of IS fighters. After Baghdadi death, inevitably its jhas raised a new hope that terrorist attacks will down. But, is it true or the death of highest IS commander has made them more angry than ever?

Responding unpredictable surprises, IS has been chosen their new caliph and new spokesman. They are Syeikh Abu Ibrahim Al Hasyimi hafidzahullah as the new commander and Syeikh Abu Hamzah Al Quraisy hafidzahullah as new spokesman. Both of them has still lead at least 5.000 until 7.500 IS global ramnant fighters.

Basically and essentially, IS is the global dangerous terror groups which is allegedly still grow in several countries mainly in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Turkey, Afghanistan etc and it can be predicted that after Baghdadi’s death, they will give vehemently reveange attacks to the US and allies.

Besides IS, the world has stiill face several exist global terror group such as AQIM, al Qaeda, Jabhat at Nusra, Boko Haram in West Africa etc. Those phenomenon has reflected that the effectiveness of global network to counter terrorist threats and attacks must be optimalized.

From several open sources, we can see and read that inbetween global communities especially among major powers countries such as the US, China. Russia and Western countries did not have a same opinion related to terror threats for example Russia government through their foreign minister, Lavrov still doubts about Baghdadi’s death news. Those facts has shown that between Russia and the US have hidden rivalry related to terror discourse.
