ISIS calls for 'lone wolves' to carry out Ramadan massacre of Christians and Jews across Europe, US and Israel
A top ISIS spokesman has called on 'lone wolves' worldwide to slaughter Christians and Jews en-masse in a chilling new declaration of terror.
In a 41-minute-long recording to mark the 10-year anniversary of ISIS declaration of a caliphate in Iraq and Syria, Abu Hudhayfah al-Ansari declared Ramadan as the 'month of jihad' and urged extremists to launch attacks in the United States, Europe and Israel.
He went on to urge Muslims to leave their homes and migrate to join up with jihadists and strengthen their ranks.
The spokesman also heaped praise on affiliates for their operations worldwide, making particular reference to Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K) - the group that claimed last week's devastating terror attack at the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Moscow which saw at least 143 civilians killed.
Al-Ansari's deplorable message comes after he launched a campaign in January entitled 'Kill Them Wherever You Find Them', in which he called for renewed focus on terror attacks and reminded Muslims that the Israel-Palestine conflict is a war on Jews, not just Israel.
'It is a religious ideological war that will continue until we kill their antichrist under the banner of the Prophet of Allah… tighten the plans and diversify operations: Blow them up with explosives, burn them with incendiary bombs, shoot them with bullets, slaughter their necks with knives, and run them over with buses,' he said.
In the days after his announcement on January 4, ISIS affiliates claimed a flurry of fresh terror attacks, including the bombing of Kerman in Iran which killed over 100 people.

Al-Ansari's latest horrifying call to terror comes after Russian officials increased the official death toll from the Moscow concert hall attack to 143.
Last week's massacre in Crocus City Hall, a sprawling shopping and entertainment venue on the north-western outskirts of Moscow, was the deadliest terror attack on Russian soil in nearly 20 years.
At least four men armed with automatic rifles shot at thousands of concertgoers and set the venue on fire.
ISIS-K claimed responsibility for the heinous slaughter, releasing disturbing and graphic first-person footage of the attack, while US intelligence said it had information confirming the group was responsible.
French President Emmanuel Macron said France also has intelligence pointing to 'an IS entity' as responsible for the attack.
The updated fatalities from Russia's Emergencies Ministry did not state the number of wounded, but health minister Mikhail Murashko said Thursday that 80 people were still in hospital following the shootings and another 205 had sought medical treatment.
Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said it had arrested 11 people the day after the attack, including four suspected gunmen.
The four men, identified as Tajik nationals, appeared in a Moscow court on Sunday on terrorism charges and showed signs of severe beatings. One appeared to be barely conscious during the hearing.
Russian officials, however, have recognised the involvement of 'Islamic extremists' but insisted Ukraine and the West had a role, claims Kyiv vehemently denies.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of using the attack to justify stepping up attacks in Ukraine.
FSB chief Alexander Bortnikov also alleged that Western spy agencies could have been involved.
'We believe that radical Islamists prepared the action, while Western special services assisted it and Ukrainian special services had a direct part in it,' Bortnikov said.
He repeated Putin's claim that the four gunmen were trying to escape to Ukraine when they were arrested, casting it as proof of Kyiv's alleged involvement.
But that assertion was undercut slightly by Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, who said on Tuesday the suspects were headed for Ukraine because they feared tight controls on the Belarus border.

ISIS, which lost much of its territory following Russia's military action in Syria after 2015, has long targeted Russia.
In October 2015, a bomb planted by ISIS downed a Russian jetliner over the Sinai desert, killing all 224 people aboard, most of them Russian vacationers returning from Egypt.
The group, which operates mainly in Syria and Iraq but also in Afghanistan and Africa, has claimed several attacks in Russia's volatile Caucasus and other regions in the past years. It has recruited fighters from Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union.
On Monday, Putin warned that more attacks could follow, alleging possible Western involvement.
He did not mention the warning about a possible imminent terrorist attack that the US shared confidentially with Moscow two weeks before the raid.
Three days before the attack, Putin denounced the US Embassy's March 7 notice urging Americans to avoid crowds in Moscow, including concerts, calling it an attempt to frighten Russians and 'blackmail' the Kremlin ahead of the presidential election.
Bortnikov said Russia was thankful for the warning but described it as very general.
