Oh soldiers of the caliphate, if you stand in the line of fire from America’s jets and its allies, then stand firm.

ISIS extremists set up improvised explosive devices and booby trapped vehicles in Mosul while fleeing an Iraqi-led offensive.

We swear to God, our blood will be shed before the blood of our captives, and their pure blood will not dry before we shed the blood of the soldiers of Al Saud [Saudi Arabia]. We will not enjoy life unless we get the necks of the Al Saud rulers.

9-11 was the answer of the millions of people who suffer from American aggression. And since then America has not been safe. And nine years after 9-11, 9 years of spending, and 9 years of beefing up security, you are still unsafe even in the holiest and most sacred of days to you, Christmas Day.

We will avenge our honour and yours, your martyrs and ours. Blood for blood and destruction for destruction.
