The splinter group is called 'Soldiers of the Caliphate in Algeria', and AQIM central region commander Khaled Abu Suleimane, whose real name is Gouri Abdelmalek, claimed leadership of the new group and said in a statement: "You have in the Islamic Maghreb men if you order them they will obey you. The Maghreb has deviated from the true path."
This is the latest blow to al-Qaeda in the rise of ISIS at the expense of al-Qaeda, thanks to a generational split between the two organizations, pitting the drawing power of older terrorists like Ayman al-Zawahiri running al-Qaeda versus the youthful al-Baghdadi running ISIS. Even worse for al-Qaeda, the organization hasn't been able to pull off anything anywhere near as devastating as the 9/11/2001 attacks in the years since. But ISIS has been devastating in a different way, taking over large areas in Syria and Iraq and decapitating Western journalists. Reuters and Al Jazeera
