THE CALIPHATE — Amid growing fears of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic, the Islamic State has announced it is canceling all suicide attacks for the foreseeable future to protect its bombers from infection.
"Many of our best suicide bombing targets are yucky incubators of disease, like crowded bazaars, military bases, and popular cafes," said ISIS spokesman Abu Hamza. "So we have ordered all of our fighters to remain home and avoid these places for their own safety."
