The Islamic extremists who have taken over large parts of Iraq and Syria have posted a message online to America.

We will drown you in blood.

The Islamic State said Tuesday that it will attack Americans “in any place” because of the air strikes against their terrorist groups and that they would “drown” Americans in blood.  The message, which was in English, was accompanied by photographs of victims of snipers in Iraq and an American who was beheaded during the Iraq War.

The U.S. airstrikes on the terrorist group has allowed Kurdish forces to make gains in the last week.  On Monday the fighters were able to take back the country’s largest dam that provides power to most of Iraq.

The off-shoot group of Al-Qaeda, which was determine to be “too extreme” for the Al-Qaeda leadership, has so far focused on capturing land for their own Islamic state rather than launching western attacks.  However, the airstrikes from the U.S. is the first direct assault on the terrorists by a major western power.
