According to Press TV sources, the assistance is provided by the US Department’s Office of Syrian Opposition Support (OSOS).

The Takfiri groups have Facebook and Twitter accounts and conduct massive activities on these social networking sites.

The OSOS provides anti-tracking and anonymous surfing software to militants in order to facilitate their activities online.

In addition, the US State Department provides security trainings for the militants through two institutions known as The Institute for War and Peace Reporting and Freedom House.

According to the reports, the militants tend to use Twitter more frequently than other social networking sites. They usually post their news and videos on this website.

Radical muftis also use Twitter to publicize their verdicts issued in support of the militants.

A recent survey has revealed that posts by Takfiri groups have been mostly re-tweeted in Turkey and Iraq.

In an interview with Press TV, political commentator Randy Short said the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group was created by Western powers.

Short criticized President Barack Obama for adopting dual policies on tackling the ISIL as he asked for about a half billion dollars to go to the Takfiri allies of ISIL in Syria.

On June 10, the ISIL Takfiri militants gained control of Mosul, the capital of Iraq’s Nineveh Province. They later took control of Tikrit, but the city was recaptured by the Iraqi army.

Last week, the ISIL announced that it was establishing what it called a caliphate on the territories under its control in Syria and Iraq.
