An audio message believed to have come from a Daesh spokesman begged followers to launch attacks in the United States, Europe, Russia, Australia, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and the Philippines during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which began in late May and ends in June, like reported by express.co.uk.
The message follows the terror group’s huge loss of territory in its Iraqi stronghold of Mosul, with terror experts now warning that displaced jihadis could disperse and launch lone wolf attacks in Western nations.
The audio clip was distributed on Monday on Islamic State’s channel on Telegram, the terror group’s encrypted messaging application.
The voice on the recording has been attributed to the militant group’s official spokesman, Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer, but the authenticity of the recording could not be independently verified.
The voice appears the same as a previous audio message purported to be from the spokesman, according to Reuters.
The recording said: “O lions of Mosul, Raqqa, and Tal Afar, God bless those pure arms and bright faces, charge against the rejectionists and the apostates and fight them with the strength of one man.
“To the brethren of faith and belief in Europe, America, Russia, Australia, and others. Your brothers in your land have done well so take them as role models and do as they have done.”
Reports have emerged that a group of Islamic State-supporting women could be next to carry out a terror attack in Britain.
According to an undercover reporter, known only as ‘Aisha’, the women – dubbed the “sisters” – have expressed abhorrent views in support of terror attackers.
In footage shot two years ago, in which London Bridge attacker Khuram Butt was featured, the women share their extreme views.
Aisha told the Mail: “The women believe that the self-declared Islamic State is the true caliphate. In essence, they are swearing their allegiance to IS, which has declared a war on British and Western society.
“The casual way this small but motivated group trot out such abhorrent ideas in the presence of small children shows just how ‘normal’ they believe them to be.”
