The Islamic State (IS) terror group has threatened to attack the Vatican on Christmas day, in what they are calling a "Christmas blood" attack, the Christian Headlines website reports today (November 20, 2017).
In a video released by IS supporters, a masked figure is shown driving toward the Vatican with a gun and a backpack, supposedly containing a bomb. The video is accompanied by the words "Christmas blood. So wait..."
Christmas is a time when IS has stepped up their attacks. One such attack occurred in 2015 when an IS terrorist carried out an attack in San Bernardino, California which killed 14 people.
Terror experts have warned that, because IS recently lost territory they previously controlled in Iraq and Syria, they will probably focus their efforts on isolated attacks in various parts of the world.
