TRAIL OF DARKNESS
ORIGINS
1999
Originally called Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (The Group of Monotheism and Jihad) or JTJ, and founded by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian national living in Iraq, the Sunni Islamist group forms with the purpose of overthrowing the government of Jordan.
2004-06
After the invasion of Iraq in 2003, al-Zarqawi pledges his loyalty to Osama bin Laden. The group now calls itself Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fl Bilad al-Rafidayn or "Organisation of Jihad's Base in the Land of the Two Rivers," although it is often described as "al-Qaeda in Iraq." The group's new stated objective is to fight US coalition troops and their Iraqi allies. Beginning in 2006, Nuri al-Maliki's predominantly Shia government begins to exclude Sunnis from government positions.
2005-09
Although the US Department of
Defense claims that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was held in Camp Bucca, a detention camp in southeastern Iraq, for only a matter of months in 2004, newspapers including the Washington Post and New York Times say it was four years.
2011
As the US finishes its withdrawal from Iraq, the "Islamic State of Iraq" sees its ranks double in size. The group continues to launch attacks against Shia tribal militias, Iraqi police and the Iraqi army, which is largely Shiite. Next door, the Syrian Civil War begins in March.
BREAKUP
October 2013
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri demands that the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” disband and leave the formerly allied Syrian rebel group the al-Nusra Front in charge of operations against Bashar al-Assad's government. Al-Baghdadi refuses.
February 2014
Following months of internal strife; ISIL or ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) breaks away from al-Qaeda and al-Nusra. ISIS changes its focus from challenging al-Assad's government to creating an Islamic caliphate that covers the region.
