The horrifying video of the mass murder of Syrian soldiers and an American aid worker is very different from other Islamic State propaganda films.
Posted Sunday morning, it shows how the jihadists are seeking to heighten the disgust they provoke.
Security and military analysts believe this new tactic is a plot to lure Western and other forces into a full-scale ground offensive IS leaders think they can win.
The analysts reckon IS is already reeling from air attacks that have stopped it taking the key Syrian border town of Kobane.
The murder of US aid worker Peter Kassig is not shown in the latest film – thought to feature UK medical student Nasser Muthana – and he does not deliver a final message as other hostages have.
There is also no announcement of the name of the next victim.
And for the first time the Islamic militants give away their location – showing what is believed to be Dabiq, a town in northern Syria – in the video’s background.

Level that city.
ReplyDeleteWe can tell how many times you went to the store last week, when you left your house, how long you shopped, what you bought and who you called while there. We have drones flying at 30,00 feet watching American city streets and photographing everyone in the open.
But entire towns in the Middle East have daily parades and celebrations about the murder of hundreds. THEY HOLD MASS EXECUTIONS IN FOOTBALL STADIUMS!!
and we can't seem to do anything except attack some pickup trucks???
We can't find and destroy REAL criminals or are they too busy looking for a "lone wolf" in the USA while a herd of wolves go crazy in countries that were poured lives and treasure into --- for nothing?
Keep cheering, you dummies.
