The Islamic State (IS) terrorist group has in a video threatened to “burn America” in a 9/11-style attack, according to media reports.
The chilling IS video warns that there is “no safety for any American on the globe”, the Daily Mail reported on Monday.
Titled “We Will Burn America”, the video calls on IS supporters to attack the US on its own soil, terming its citizens’ sense of safety a “mirage”.
The 11-minute video also showcases some of the militants’ bloodiest atrocities, featuring the beheading of US journalist James Foley, several mass beheadings and the horrific burning of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh. Subtitles added to the footage claim that previous “mujahideen” -- a term used to describe someone waging jihad -- managed to carry out the 9/11 World Trade Center twin-tower attacks in New York with little resources.
The 9/11 attacks were a series of four coordinated Al Qaeda terrorist strikes in the US on September 11, 2001, which killed close to 3,000 people and damaged at least $10 billion worth of property and infrastructure.
In broken English, the IS video adds: “By Allah’s willing, the fear will spread among them again soon.”
