ISIS issue new threat to the UK in new poster being shared by jihadists with message – ‘We will destroy your country’
ISIS supporters and militants are sharing a new graphic which issues a chilling threat to the UK.
The poster has appeared on known ISIS channels and depicts an armed jihadist in front of Big Ben, SITE Intel reports.
A message reads: “We will destroy your country, as you destroyed our country.”
It comes after militants called for terror attacks on Christmas markets in Britain and Europe during the festive period.
The ISIS propaganda material issues a rallying cry for followers to carry out atrocities in the UK, Germany and France.
Posters circulated via messaging apps include the phrase “soon on your holidays” written in English, German and French.
Well-known landmarks including the Eiffel Tower are also shown.
Christmas scenes are interlinked with dark terrorist images, including a hand holding a bloody knife, reports have revealed.
Another image which has emerged shows Father Christmas on his knees with his hands bound and a jihadist dressed in black standing behind him in what appears to be London’s Regent Street.
The images were intercepted by BlackOps Cyber, a dark web intelligence agency, several days ago, the Epoch Times reported .
It comes after concrete bollards have been installed around the site of Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market in a bid to prevent terror attacks.
Bosses at Birmingham City Council confirmed the security barriers were installed around Victoria Square last night and others are due to be installed at key city centre locations over the coming days.
Police say the extra security is not based on any new or emerging intelligence about the Birmingham event, which is expected to attract millions of visitors before it closes on December 29.
As well as the return of reinforced concrete blocks there will also be extra armed police officers on patrol and undercover officers who will be tasked with spotting suspicious behaviour.
Similar security barriers were introduced for the first time in Birmingham last year after a terror attack at a Christmas market in Berlin, which left 12 people dead and scores more injured.
Councillor Brigid Jones, Deputy Leader of Birmingham City Council, said: “Our top priority when we stage the market is to ensure the millions of visitors we host every year can have an enjoyable and safe stay in the city.
“Every detail behind the planning of the market is reviewed with our partners annually to ensure we achieve this aim.
“We had barriers for the first time last year so this is not new and my message would be that there is no need for concern or alarm.”
