ISIS Issue Third Threat To US in 3 Days: ‘The White House Will Turn Black With Our Fire’
ISIS have released a third video in three days making a threat against America, in which they suggest that they are planning an attack Washington D.C., the White House in particular.
Fanatics and extremists connected with ISIS were quoted in the video insisting that the White House will turn “black with our fire, Allah willing.” Another extremist then makes a pointed threat to U.S. President Barack Obama and France’s President Francois Hollande.
The video also insists that ISIS plan to lead the USA, France, as well as the country’s other allies not just “like slaves” but also “like dogs” too.
This threat comes two days after ISIS originally pledged to attack the U.S. capital and a day after they released a video that insisted they would bomb New York. These videos have been released in quick succession following last Friday’s devastating terrorist attacks in Paris, which resulted in the deaths of at least 129 people.
It’s been reported by the Middle East Research Institute, via the Daily Mail, that the clip, which they have translated, was filmed just to the north of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq in the ISIS controlled Dijlah province.
One of the jihadis in the clip emphatically warns, “We started with [Paris] and we shall finish with the false White House… we shall render [the White House] black with our fire, Allah willing.” He then adds that the terrorists will “blow up [the White House] like we blew up the false idols in the good land.”
“What do they expect from the nation of Islam other than more of these strikes?,” the ISIS member asks, before adding, “We will bring [French President Francois] Hollande and the people around him the good tidings, as we bring Obama and the people around him the good tidings, of more of these strikes.”
He then adds, “Allah willing, we shall roast them with [explosive] belts and car bombs. We shall follow them wherever they may go and Allah willing we shall lead them like slaves, like dogs.”
Then, just to underline his threat and point, the terrorist repeated himself, saying, “Allah willing we shall lead them like slaves, like dogs.”
The clip also featured the text “Paris before Rome,” which was immediately taken to be a threat against the Italian capital. In response, authorities in Rome have upped their security around several popular tourist attractions.
The footage wasn’t finished, though, as the camera-hungry terrorist returned to the screen to reiterate ISIS’ plan to attack France and the USA, especially Washington D.C.
This time stood in a peaceful garden, he declared, “Oh crusader France, we shall pulverise your palaces, Allah willing you shall not know happiness and will not love for long. We started with you and we shall finish with the false White House which we shall render black with our fire, Allah willing. We shall blow it up like we blew up the false idols in this good land. Oh crusaders everywhere, know that you are under threat and that Allah had ordered us to fight you.”
This video came a day after ISIS released footage showing a man putting on a suicide vest before then cutting to footage of New York’s Times Square. However, it has now emerged that the clip of the man putting on the suicide jacket was actually from another video, which suggests it was edited together quickly following the Paris attacks.
