A new video released by ISIS on Sunday shows photos and the last statements of the terrorists who took part in the Paris attacks that had killed 130 people on November 13.
Watch the video here.
The footage shows the nine attackers delivering anti-Western diatribes and concludes with an apparent threat to attack Britain.
The video was uploaded to ISIS’s official Telegram channel and showed some of the Paris attackers wearing camouflage fatigues in a desert.
Several of them were shown beheading hostages, a tactic frequently used by the terror outfit.
Laith Alkhouri of Flashpoint Global Partners, which monitors militants’ social media, said the “video meets all the right criteria of an authentic and official ISIS release.”
The narrator in the video said:
These are the last messages of the nine lions of the caliphate who were mobilised from their lairs to make a whole country, France, get down on its knee.
The attackers are identified in the video by assumed names and their nationalities – three French, four Belgian and two Iraqis, referred to as Ali al-Iraqi and Ukashah al-Iraqi. The two are assumed to be the suicide bombers who tried to attack the Stade de France stadium. They carried Syrian passports assumed to be forged and could not be formally identified. Seven other dead attackers have already been identified.
The video also showed footage of British Prime Minister David Cameron expressing solidarity with the French people after the attacks, and concluded by flashing a slogan on the screen saying:
Whoever stands in the ranks of kafir (infidels) will be a target for our swords.
There were no comments from the French Foreign Ministry and the British Prime Minister’s office on the video.
