This commentary examines the pledges of allegiance of terrorist groups from the Middle East, North Africa and Asia to the Islamic State. The author uses the cases of Jund Al-Khalifa and Abu Sayyaf Group to demonstrate the differing degrees of subordination to IS commands and the interplay of ideological dedication versus financial interests that influence the effectiveness of jihadist alliance hubs.
