New ISIS Propaganda Video Features Threat Of Attacks In Australia
A new ISIS propaganda video depicted a knife attack in Australia. The ISIS supporter is shown in the film preparing for an attack as the group decides to bring the battle to the West.
The gruesome new video allegedly features the voice of German rapper and now ISIS supporter Deso Dogg. It combined footage from past execution and beheading videos before encouraging terror attacks in Australia, Britain, France, Germany and the United States.
The new ISIS video was released as more Australian troops left for Iraq as part of a 400-strong military force from New Zealand and Australia. The contingent will be known as Task Group Taji and will help train Iraqi government forces. The Australian and Kiwi soldiers will be part of a larger training team.
Attacks In Australia
The attacks depicted in the new ISIS video include suicide attacks, mass shootings and bombings. “To the enemies of Allah: Where are your troops? We can no longer wait,” raps the German voice in the video.
In a scene that showed Australia, a man can be seen reading a religious text before driving a BMW to a rural area. The next clip shows him getting out of the vehicle and squeezing the handle of the combat knife. The Australian reports that terrorism experts believe the German voice in the video belonged to Deso Dogg, a celebrated personality among ISIS fighters.
Australian Fighter Dies in Syria
Meanwhile, an Australian man who went to Syria to join ISIS was reportedly killed. Sharky Jama, a former model in Melbourne, was shot dead in Syria, SBS reports. Dada Jama, the militant’s father, was told by a source in Syria that his son had died. When he tried to call his son, he was redirected to voicemail. He knew then that his son was dead.
The younger Jama had adopted a new name after he left Australia. He has ties with Sydney street Dawah preacher Abdul Salam Mahmoud and self-styled sheik Junaid Thorne. The ISIS recruit had used Facebook to describe his dream of “entering paradise.”
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has pleaded with Australians to stop joining the “death cult” after Jama’s death. He said ISIS was not about religion but about death, Herald Sun reports. “My very simple message to anyone considering joining these groups is don’t,” said Mr Abbott. He added that those who join ISIS become a danger to others and to themselves.
