(MENAFN)An "unprecedented" silence took over Daesh online propaganda channels, as they went unexpectedly silent for more than a full day between Wednesday and Thursday.
As it uses messaging application Telegram to broadcast its daily updates on claims of attacks and military operations, it actually published nothing between 0900 GMT on Wednesday and 1001 GMT on Thursday.
The silence was called "unprecedented." As Charlie Winter, senior research fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization and Political Violence referred to.
"The deceleration in the production of Daesh media has been particularly profound over the last couple of weeks," he said.
"But there were no 24-hour periods when it was completely silent." he added.
