Islamic State calls on US, Europe and Israel terrorist attacks

The Islamic State has today urged its supporters to target “crusads” everywhere but especially in the US, Europe and Israel. The Islamic state spokesman in a recorded message posted on the ISIS channel on Telegram, praised the attack on the Moscow concert hall, which resulted in more than 140 people losing their lives. “We ask God to reach Palestine to fight the Jews face to face, in an uninterrupted religious war,” he added. Russian authorities say they found evidence that the armed perpetrators of the attack were associated with “Ukraine nationalists”, a claim which the US immediately rejected as unfounded propaganda. Eleven people were arrested in the first 24 hours after the massacre all eight of them, including all four alleged perpetrators of the attack, have been imprisoned. The seven come from Tajikistan and the eighth from Kyrgyzstan.
