Activities:

Al-Binali is ISIL’s “chief religious advisor”.

Treasury describes jihadist Al-Binali as a recruiter for foreign fighters, who also authors literature and fatwas for the Islamic State’s training camps.

Binali has written several pamphlets to recruit more fighters, including the first call for Muslims to pledge allegiance to Baghdadi as caliph. He is in charge of a support network that recruits Gulf nationals to join the Islamic State in Syria.

Binali was appointed to the post of chief religious advisor for Baghdadi’s group in November 2014.

He has made many contributions on online forums, through writing by means of dozens of memberships.

In July 2014, Twitter shut down his account @turky_albinali which he was using to promote for Islamic State and recruit young men.

He currently faces charges of luring children and young men and planning how to take them to battlefields in Iraq and Syria during his activities in Al-Bousaiteen area.

The Bahraini government stripped Binali of his citizenship on January 31, 2015.
