IS Threatens to Conduct Paris-Like Attack in US; Warns in Video Nations Bombing Syria to Be Hit

The Islamic State (IS) warned in a new video today (November 16, 2015) that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria would suffer the same fate as France, and threatened to attack in Washington, D.C., the Daily Beast website reports.

The video -- which appeared on the site used by Islamic State to post its messages -- begins with news footage of the aftermath of the November 13 Paris shootings in which at least 129 people were killed.

The message to countries involved in what it called the "crusader campaign" was delivered by a man dressed in fatigues and a turban, and identified in subtitles as Al Ghareeb the Algerian.

"We say to the states that take part in the crusader campaign that, by God, you will have a day, God willing, like France's and by God, as we struck France in the center of its abode in Paris, then we swear that we will strike America at its center in Washington," the man said.
