A new video released by the Islamic State shows Paris terrorists threatening Britain and performing grisly executions on camera. Police are still searching for 2 suspects in Paris attacks.
The Islamic State caliphate published a new video titled "Kill Them Wherever You Find Them", featuring Muslim terrorists involved in Paris attacks on November 2015. Ynetnews reported that the end of the video suggested threats to Britain, showing crosshairs on British Prime Minister David Cameron as he extends his support to the French people. It was accompanied by a menacing caption saying, "Whoever stands in the ranks of kafir (infidels) will be a target for our swords."
The Islamic group previously announced that it plans to launch a video dealing with the attacks on Paris. Aside from the threat to Britain, the video also showed French president Francois Hollande being targeted as he declared war on IS.
The video featured the attackers who killed 128 people in Paris on November 13 last year. Toronto Sun said that the video was uploaded to the official Telegram channel of IS. Larith Alkhouri, from IS social media monitoring group Flashpoint Global Partners, claimed that the video is an "authentic and official ISIS release".
Nine terrorists were seen in the video speaking anti-Western messages and performing executions on camera. The first IS member who spoke in the video was Abdelhamid Abaaoud, known by his nom de guerre Abu Umar al Baljiki. Abaaoud was believed to be the mastermind behind the Paris massacres. He was killed as police stormed his hideout in a raid after the attacks.
Abaaoud claimed that IS terrors are retaliations to airstrikes led by Western coalitions in Iraq, Mali, and other Muslim territories. "By Allah, as long as you continue to direct airstrikes against us, and as long as you continue to declare war and fight the Muslims, we will not stop fighting you in every part of the world, regardless of whether you are on a tourism trip or a work trip, or are fast asleep in your homes," threatened Abaaoud.
The jihadists shot helpless captives in Syria and Iraq at point-blank range in the video. The Long War Journal reported that these atrocious on-camera executions by IS forces Western countries to meddle in affairs in Syria.
Police are still searching for two more suspects involved in the terror attacks in Paris. They are Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year old French, and Mohamed Abrini, 29 years old.
