Middle East correspondent for the Economist,Sarah Birke has written a post in the New York Review of Books where she cites a Syrian defector from ISIS’s intelligence services. He says that an Icelandic filmmaker is among the recruits to the group.
The Reykjavik Grapevine published a story on this last night.
As stated in the artcile: "Abu Hamza told me that an Icelandic filmmaker was among the recruits to the group, hence the professional videos used to attract new recruits and scare Western viewers. Dabiq’s fluent language suggests it is written and edited by native English speakers."
ISIS has published videos of the executions of western hostages which have been of professional quaiity. It is not clear however whether Birke's source is referring to these videos in his comment.
