ISIS News: New Video Explains Why Paris Received Attacks
A new video was released by the Islamic State, explaining why Paris became the target of a series of attacks on Friday, leaving at least 127 dead and many others injured.
In the new video courtesy of CNN, ISIS fighters are seen denouncing Paris and its people. Arabic and English subtitles can be seen flashing on the screen as a group of jihadists toss several passports unto a bonfire.
The video also explains why the ISIS felt it was necessary to attack Paris. Part of the subtitles read, "We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone." There seems to be a passion for murdering hundreds of Parisians as the subtitles continue with the strong statement, "You have oppressed us, fought our religion and insulted our Prophet."
In one part of the video where the jihadists look down on the burning passports, thrilling words flash on the screen, "...if you come here we will fight you."
Before the video was released, the ISIS has claimed responsibility over the attacks earlier, with claims translated into various languages and spread all over social media networks to prove that they were behind the killings.
According to The New York Times, SITE Intelligence Group believes that the Islamic State is responsible for the attacks, shutting down speculations that the Al Qaeda may have been involved in the French capital attacks.
SITE says the claims published on Telegram, a messaging platform, plus the apparent celebration of users who support the terrorist group, are key factors in determining who was behind the bombings and gunfire killings.
The group further explained that the methods used by the terrorists are more likely to be that of the ISIS, instead of other terror groups such as the Al Qaeda.
President Francois Hollande declared on Monday that "France is at war." He also proposed various new laws that look to strengthen public safety and hopefully eradicate terrorism in one of the world's tourist attractions.
