As if resurrected, Abu Talha al-Almani, a.k.a. “Deso Dogg,” has returned to the jihad in Syria. Just a few months ago, the German rapper-turned-jihadist was widely believed to have been killed in an airstrike by the Syrian air force. But now he is back and in new videos, he holds forth on his injuries, the “obligation” of jihad, Jabhat al-Nusra, and Muslims in Germany.
