THE ISLAMIC STATE group has released a video purporting to show nine jihadists involved in the November Paris attacks that killed 130 people, in which they threaten “coalition” countries including Britain.
The graphic video posted on jihadist websites is entitled “Kill wherever you find them”, and shows four Belgians, three French citizens and two Iraqis said to be responsible for the attacks.
It also depicts the nine carrying out atrocities before the rampage in Paris, including beheading and shooting people described as hostages.
In the video, the jihadists, speaking in French and in Arabic, say their “message is addressed to all the countries taking part in the (US-led) coalition” that has been fighting IS in Syria and Iraq since September 2014.
The footage also shows a picture of British Prime Minister David Cameron accompanied by the words in English: “Whoever stands in the ranks of kufr (unbelievers) will be a target for our swords.”
President Francois Hollande said the video would not deter France from its fight against terrorism.
“Nothing will deter us, no threat will make France waver in the fight against terrorism,” the French president told reporters in New Delhi during an official visit to India.
The video, produced by IS’s Al-Hayat Media Centre, describes the attackers as “lions” who “brought France to its knees”.
The footage shows images of the Paris strike claimed by Islamic State as well as security operations by French special forces during the onslaught.
It was not clear why the group released the video more than two months after the 13 November bloodshed in which jihadists armed with guns and suicide belts launched coordinated attacks on Paris bars, restaurants, and a concert hall.
Seven of them died during the attacks and two in a subsequent police raid but the total number of those directly involved is still unclear.
Among the men purportedly shown in the video is suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud, identified by his nom de guerre Abu Umar al-Baljiki, or Abu Umar the Belgian.
Abaaoud, who was widely thought to have been in Syria fighting with IS forces in the past, was killed in a shootout with French police days after the bloodiest attacks to hit Europe since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.
Hollande has said that the Paris attacks were planned in Syria but prepared and organised in Belgium.
Four suspects remain at large, including Salah Abdeslam, who allegedly drove suicide bombers to the French national stadium outside Paris, as well as Mohamed Abrini, suspected of having helped scout out the attack sites. Both are from Molenbeek.

And where are these brainwashed idiots now? Feeding worms.
That’s not much good to their victims families and French people who innocently welcomed migrants and gave them the opportunity of a better life in their country, only to be turned on
Where are the white shooters that the eyewitness saw?

The Mirror? Really? You really need to work on your research John.
Should the eye witness’s claims not be investigated further Jason?
“You really need to work on your research John”
Please explain.
“Kill (the infidel) wherever you find them” – Verse 9:5 Koran.
There are 100+ verses like this in the Koran, calling on Muslims to kill, rape, torture, dismember…
The unholy Koran is an evil book and should be banned.
It’s very easy to explain John.
The Mirror is a rag tabloid with a history of making things up. They’ve been found guilty of libel quite a few times and were caught peddling blatantly falsified images of alleged abuses in Iraq.
Alarming Evidence Suggests ISIS is Now a US-Israel Proxy Army
“For the past year, US, British and other western forces have been back in Iraq, supposedly in Iraq the cause of destroying the hyper-sectarian terror group Islamic State (formerly known as al-Qaida in Iraq).
A revealing light on how we got here has now been shone by a recently declassified secret US intelligence report, written in August 2012, which uncannily predicts – and effectively welcomes – the prospect of a “Salafist principality” in eastern Syria and an al-Qaida-controlled Islamic state in Syria and Iraq. In stark contrast to western claims at the time, the Defense Intelligence Agency document identifies al-Qaida in Iraq (which became Isis) and fellow Salafists as the “major forces driving the insurgency in Syria” – and states that “western countries, the Gulf states and Turkey” were supporting the opposition’s efforts to take control of eastern Syria.”

What about the scene of the crime Eyewitness that they have named?
Should he not be pursued?
Whose data do you rely on Jason?
Kiddy phone tapper Rupert Murdoch’s?
Strokeman Dennis’s?
(not that I’d ever rely on the mirror or any mainstream media’s data)
If the west’s military industrial complex/governments are not directly funding these attacks on the west’s general public,
then they are at least
Bombing these far off countries,
whilst inviting over the disgruntled military aged relatives (radicalized terrorists) of their victims to live amongst their own public,
whilst leaving their own borders wide open (thus allowing these terrorists to move freely in and out of their country)
whilst allowing these radical terrorists to heavily arm themselves,
whilst instigating/ordering media blackouts (as in Cologne) and media half truth propaganda fables.
as a pretext to declare more wars on these far off countries and perpetuate the suffering for the lower classes everywhere and the big profits for themselves.
Spot on Vladimir.
Funny though.
That the West’s Military Industrial Complex and Government’s don’t seem to mind those acts when they are being instigated by their wealthy middle eastern partners and associates?
Pat, I see you are engaging in dishonest quote mining again. From the original article in the Guardian dated 3 June 2015 you conveniently left out the next paragraph because it isn’t convenient.
“That doesn’t mean the US created Isis, of course, though some of its Gulf allies certainly played a role in it – as the US vice-president, Joe Biden, acknowledged last year. But there was no al-Qaida in Iraq until the US and Britain invaded. And the US has certainly exploited the existence of Isis against other forces in the region as part of a wider drive to maintain western control.”
The Chicago Post is not a credible source either, though it may be slightly better than some of your other sources.
A mixture of scuts and religion. All our problems rolled into one they are
Bunch of inbred religious morons !!!
@Karl – Islamic! Be specific.
All religion is made up nonsense.
Except Islam is the only one willing to kill you if you don’t believe it as well.
Incorrect,there are plenty of Christian militias murdering innocent people in Africa.
@Cheney There are fundamentalists in all religions. But the one actually causing problems currently for us in Europe is Islamic fundamentalism. So what Christians are doing in Africa is really neither here nor there.
But obviously you’re being disingenuous because tartarus was talking about killing unbelievers – kuffar. That’s not the basis for Christian militias’ actions in Africa as you no doubt are aware.
Shut up Richard Cheney ya Muppet , name one Christian suicide bomber ?? I seen your comments here , you are a dirty blind stupid liberal that is helping destroy Europe , name one Christian terrorist group that is on the scale of Isis ?? Name one that exists now , please don’t go back to the crusades like you usually do ya moron
There are a few captain like the LRA & some in the middle east fighting along side the Palestinians. I do agree though that right now Islam is the greatest threat in the world right now but remember the rcc was the most dangerous in the earlier part of the 20th century. It seems once a religion gathers traction it looses all sense of decency & empathy & compassion.
LRA , come on , they are insignificant , Christians fighting alongside Palestinian is for freedom and its worth fighting for
One thing is certain if wahabbism or sharia starts been enforced across Europe then Christian military groups will spring up all over the place
Capt. Ireland is given two examples and then goes ‘Ah come on sure,blah blah blah’ Celtic jersey wearing type no doubt!
And now they find there are no virgins waiting…….what a mistake
Always think of that billy connolly joke whats the point of all thoese virgins waiting for you when you’ve blown your c*ck off
It’s a pity they never get to realise that there is nothing there for them and that they were brainwashed. They gave up their lives for a lie.
@Gus: They’re dead – they find nothing. They’re just dead!
Just another example of the sexism in Islam. If you read the Hadith, Jihadi men receive 72 female virgins and “28 prepubescent boys” . Because having sex with these boys is perfectly ok in Islam, and is pedarastry not peodopilia. http://www.albatrus.org/english/religions/islam/72virgins_and_boys.htm the lucky female jihadi gets……wait for it……their husbands back….oh the lucky girls.
Divide and conquer p anti , Islam v Christianity .. at this rate martial law will be called then governments can do what they want
What the common denominator captain ??
These people are right outside your door in every county in Ireland and we have no idea if they are terrorists or people driven out of their own Countries who my heart goes out to and deserve to be looked after. We have to very careful in our town rumour had it the 10 families that came here were to go on a priority list for housing I know people who have been on the housing list for over 5 years is it right to house these people before our own . We have to strike a balance
The world shouldn’t be circulating this filth. Why even give them the satisfaction of a media reaction as that’s what their after. All their toe rag propaganda videos should be ignored
Sick
Let the refugees in they said , we should help they said … Liberals are fooled by this Trojan horse , there will inevitably be more and worse terrorist attacks to come , I cant believe how stupid and blind these liberals are , they are destroying our home
From all the centuries between Muhammad the so called prophet to the so called Islamic state or even the KSA, can someone tell me how are they any different in their goals?
The video has already been declared a fake. The dates don’t match.
Ed Snowden’s Tweet explains why it’s fake. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/691396009587556353?s=09
That just said the email is fake. Nothing about the video.
Release info after the deeds are done is all the email confirms. Even the Yanks take 2/3 days minimum to accept anything.
The NATO allies of Turkey just avoid any acceptance of guilt. Armenian, Greek, Alevi & Kurds for the last 40 years!
OK. The email to which the video was attached is being called into question in that Snowden tweet but people are questioning its overall authenticity & rightly so. If the signature on a Picasso was questionable, would you buy it? Then why buy this.
It’s pretty obvious they faked the email themselves. They wanted it to looked like they had control over exactly what happened instead of an independent cell attacking targets they choose themselves. It makes them seem more powerful. What happened is instead the email made them technologically illiterate.
@Chicinho you can add France to the same list of offenders in not accepting any blame for the massacres and tortures it carried out during the Algerian war of independence.
W@nkers
They’re quoting the Quran:
“(2:191-193) – “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing… but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun(the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)”
The poor old polytheists always get exempted from forgiveness and mercy.
The great irony of wahhabism. They constantly decry the evils of polytheism and “idol worship” then gather in their millions every year in an ancient polytheistic temple to worship a stone.
Its interesting to see how unhappy god is with so much of what he created. Either his creation was flawed, or he knew it would be flawed. In any case you think he’d be able to deal with sinners himself in his hereafter. Instead it seems he sends vaguely worded and contradictory messages commanding that his flawed creations must deal with each other in the here and now. What’s he so busy with? Actually getting creation right in another universe? Or is he just a sadistic shit stirrer, not worth worshipping?
In this case god is a figment of the imagination of a psychotic but ingenious 7th century warlord who realized that there’s nothing like religion to motivate the troops.
You are correct. I would contend that religion has always been used in this way, by the powerful, to cower and control the rest. See how various gods fell in and out of favour in ancient Egypt at the whim of various pharoahs, priests and ultimately the Romans.
These guys wouldn’t have been much harm to Parisians if the the French Government didn’t carpet bomb their homes and children.
Ohh and invite them to come to stay in France afterwards.
Ohh and give them social welfare to assist them in their terror plot.
Ohh and leave their borders swinging wide open.
Ohh and allow them to obtain illegal weapons.
Ohh and take weapons from their own people.
Funny we are not hearing of many elitists being attacked in these terror plots?
Exacting johnneary , I often thought why these terrorists are targeting innocent civilians when they could really hurt the government and attack banks , rail roads etc , they won’t kill much civilians but it will hurt the government’s coffers
have your say
