Islamic State warned in a new video on Monday that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria would suffer the same fate as France, and threatened to attack in Washington.
The video, which appeared on a site used by Islamic State to post its messages, begins with news footage of the aftermath of Friday’s Paris shootings in which at least 129 people were killed.
The message to countries involved in what it called the “crusader campaign” was delivered by a man dressed in fatigues and a turban, and identified in subtitles as Al Ghareeb the Algerian.
“We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like France’s and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington,” the man said.
It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the video, which purports to be the work of Islamic State fighters in the Iraqi province of Salahuddine, north of Baghdad.
The French government has called the Paris attacks an act of war and said it would not end its air strikes against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.
French fighter jets launched their biggest raids in Syria to date on Sunday targeting the Islamic State’s stronghold in the city of Raqqa. The operation was carried out in coordination with U.S. forces.
Police raided homes of suspected Islamist militants across France overnight following the Paris attacks.
“Al Ghareeb the Algerian” also warned Europe in the video that more attacks were coming.
“I say to the European countries that we are coming, coming with booby traps and explosives, coming with explosive belts and (gun) silencers and you will be unable to stop us because today we are much stronger than before,” he said.
Apparently referring to international talks to end the Syrian war, another man identified in the video as Al Karrar the Iraqi tells French President Francois Hollande “we have decided to negotiate with you in the trenches and not in the hotels.”

“… then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington,” the man said.”
You’d miss the mark, then. The ‘center’ would be Tel Aviv.
“It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the video,…”
Mossad could ‘authenticate’ it, since they produced it.
These morons never come up with anything new & exciting, do they. Same tired, old recycled sh#t.
Yeah, like the bangers and wannabes will accept them with open arms!
corporate news despite its talmudic purpose and their role in mental enslavement and spiritual extinguishing of the soul, out of necessity for their own purposes where truth can be aired however briefly before it is censored. so ironically it is a place due to its accessibility for truth seekers. that is why we hate the tabloid liars and freakshows out for hits, that would be ok if they were not promoted above all others and paid handsomely above others for their trash.
makes total sense to me
also, thieves raid u.s. military armory
“… also, thieves raid u.s. military armory”
Not much of a raid, considering what they took… (inside job, imo)
“Although authorities have not detailed exactly what was taken, a law enforcement source told the Daily Beast the stockpile of stolen arms includes six M4 rifles, 10 M9 Beretta handguns and “several long guns.”
Wow! Gee whiz! You could knock off a 7-11 or possibly 2 (!) with such an arsenal! Jeez So pathetic to think anyone embraces such a thing and actually has “fear” from it. Good Lord. I hope they use a “silencer”, whatever the f that is, to off themselves to save them from the carnage such a stockpile of weaponry so as not to disturb me.
Right?
No grenades, grenade launchers, C-4, or even .50’s?
No REAL thieves would take what they did, and nothing else (that they’ve admitted to, anyway).
im reading this same shit happened back in july to a french armory. im sorry but most americans are just too stupid. i USE to say its not their fault.
You mean the doors to the armory were open to the assets/operatives and they shopped at the armory. The armory personnel later reported it as a robbery.
I’m more concerned about taking care of the Jihads in DC than I am with those they have created!!
