Unconfirmed news reports on social media platforms alleging that Seif Edine Al-Rais, former spokesman of Ansar Asharia, swore allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, compelled the public prosecutor’s office in Kairouan to open an investigation into the matter. On the first day of Ramadan (29 June), Al Baghdadi declared himself Caliph of Muslim, in Mosul, Iraq. Al-Rais told several news outlets that the video in question dated back to 2012 and that his statement at a mosque in Kairouan, last week, was taken out of context.
