ISIS terrorist takes selfie in front of New York’s Met museum after the group called for more lone wolf-style knife and bomb attacks

A man wearing an ISIS face scarf has uploaded a chilling selfie outside New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art with the caption: ‘We are in your home.’

The image, uploaded to a pro-ISIS channel on messaging app Telegram on December 30, shows the man standing on a snowy 5th Avenue as people walk past.

It comes after ISIS issued a video featuring shots of New York while calling for more bomb and knife attacks across the festive period.

The poster that accompanies the chilling call to arms shows an ISIS soldier holding a knife with the words ‘It’s cheaper than a chainsaw’.

It also comes after another image showing New York’s West Street with an ISIS flag displayed on a phone screen was posted online.

That image appeared days before Sayfullo Saipov drove a truck down the cycle path which runs alongside the street, killing eight on Halloween.

The image outside the Met was provided to Mail Online by terror-monitoring group MEMRI, which said it could not verify the authenticity of the image, which may have been photoshopped.

Footage called upon the group’s supporters in the West to carry out attacks using bomb-laden pressure cookers, knives, and firearms.

The video provides a list of recommended targets including churches, nightclubs and stadiums.

And last month, a Staten Island taxi cab driver, Akayed Ullah, 27, failed to properly detonate a suicide pipe bomb at 42nd Street Subway station after being inspired by ISIS.

Thankfully, the only serious wounds were to the suspect a 27-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant.

The attack sent terrified commuters fleeing through a smoky passageway, and three people suffered headaches and ringing ears from the first bomb blast in the subway in more than two decades.

The suspect had looked as Islamic State propaganda online and told investigators he acted alone in retaliation for U.S. military aggression in the Middle East.

The attack near Times Square came less than two months after eight people died near the World Trade Center in a truck attack authorities said was carried out by an Uzbek immigrant who admired the Islamic State group.

Sayfullo Saipov proudly told investigators how he had rented a truck and used it to fatally run down cyclists and pedestrians on a New York City bike path, all in the name of the Islamic State.

He assured them he acted alone. U.S. counter-terrorism agents want to make sure.

Saipov, 29, came to the U.S. legally in 2010 from Uzbekistan, where officials say he had no history of trouble with the law.

He first lived in Ohio, where he was a commercial truck driver, then Florida. He most recently lived in New Jersey with his wife and children, and worked as an Uber driver.
