ISIS Plans “Coordinated Terror Attacks” On Europe

A former ISIS militant has revealed to authorities that the group is planning to conduct coordinated terror attacks across Europe, similar to the 13 Nov attacks on Paris. Harry S, as the militant is publicly known, has fled ISIS’ territory and is being investigated by intelligence officers in Germany after being charged with membership in a terrorist group.

According to his revelations, he and other fighters were asked by ISIS commanders to “bring jihad back to their homeland.” A coordinated attack is a central goal for ISIS.

“They want something that happens everywhere at the same time,” he said. “All you need is to take a big knife, and go down to the streets and slaughter every infidel you encounter.”

Harry S is but one of 700 domestic jihadists, according to german intelligence. He used to lead ISIS’ mass executions and ideological training sessions in Raqqa, the self-declared Caliphate’s capital.

A propaganda film released last year featured Harry S and other German-speaking jihadis, urging supporters around the world to kill “infidels.” The video ended with the execution of two prisoners.

Harry S escaped after three months of beheadings and other executions. According to him, he could no longer stand to sheer brutality of the ISIS regime and escaped their territory, heading to Germany.

Terrorists hiding among the droves of refugees flooding Europe’s shores is a major concern for intelligence and police services in the continent. The current chaos could serve as a convenient concealment for terrorists planning to journey to the continent to execute an elaborate attack similar to the one in Paris.

Dr Gert R Polli, the former head of Austria’s domestic security agency, recently warned of such a scenario, saying that Europe’s “borders are no longer controllable.”
