Isis has claimed responsibility for a deadly shooting at a mosque in Oman’s capital Muscat, the first time that the Islamist jihadist group has claimed an attack on the small Gulf nation.

Six people were killed and dozens injured in the attack at a Shia mosque in the Wadi Kabir district of the capital on Tuesday. The deaths, which included a police officer, four Pakistani nationals and an Indian national, were confirmed by local police and the two nation’s embassies in the country.

Experts said it was the first attack claimed by Isis in traditionally stable Oman, and the first time in eight years that the jihadis have boasted of launching an attack in the oil-rich Gulf region….

A video released on Tuesday watermarked with the logo of the Islamist terror group’s Amaq news agency claimed responsibility for the Muscat attack, and showed gunmen firing from a raised position. Telegram channels sympathetic to Isis also circulated the video….

Oman is refusing Uncle Sam's demands. So as usual, CIA sends in their henchmen in the middle east aka ISIS.
Oman now has to choose sides.

You are unable to produce any credible evidence to support the claim that CIA is behind ISIS. ISIS emerged from the remnants of Al-Qaeda in Iraq and has its own distinct islamic ideology, PBUB!
