Islamic terrorist group ISIS has released another video showing a beheading and issuing threats to President Obama.
The video was found by the Middle East Media Research Institute on Tuesday and shows three ISIS terrorists behind a kneeling Kurdish fighter.
“Know, oh Obama, that will reach America,” says one of the fighters, clad in black and wearing a balaclava, in a translation from Arabic provided by MEMRI. “Know also that we will cut off your head in the White House, and transform America into a Muslim Province.”
The terrorists then threaten European governments with more violence.
“And this is my message to France and to its sister, Belgium,” he said. “We advise you that we will come to you with car bombs and explosive charges, and will cut off your heads.”
The video fades to black as the beheading begins.
The group also released a second video that bears the voice of a Japanese hostage saying he has less than 24 hours to live. The terrorists are calling for the release of a jailed woman in Jordan in exchange for the man’s life.
The al-Qaeda affiliate in Yemen has threatened to kill an American hostage.
The captive has been identified at 33-year-old Luke Somers, a British-born man who became an American citizen. Somers was working for the Yemen Times as a photojournalist.
Journalists throughout Yemen have been calling on the government to work for the journalist’s release, saying the kidnapping was an attempt to intimidate the country’s media.
The terrorists reportedly have made demands that have to be met in three days or they will kill Somers.
The terrorist group has already killed a hostage this week, former Yemeni Intelligence official Rashid al-Hebshi, whose body was found on Thursday.
Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby admitted there was a failed rescue attempt last month.
Reports have been released of a Muslim man who threatened to shot up an Ohio high school because of his hatred of Israel.
Police said that a man “with a heavy accent” called Pickerington North High School Wednesday morning and said that he would be shooting students at the school with an AK-47 assault rifle. The man said he was “Mohammed Shehad” and that his actions would be in response to Israel’s actions in the Gaza strip.
The school was put into lockdown until police could determine there was no actual threat in the area of the school.
Police say that no one has been arrested and it’s likely the threat has passed but they were not taking anything for granted.
“There is no way to be absolutely certain,” Fairfield County Sheriff Dave Phalen said.
Terrorism analyst Patrick Poole, who lives in Ohio, said radical Islam in Ohio is on the rise.
“We have had a growing problem here in the Columbus area for years that local law enforcement and the media want to continue to sweep under the carpet,” Poole said. “Not only has central Ohio been the home of the largest known al-Qaeda cell since 9/11—with several members currently in prison on terrorism charges and at least two deported—we’ve had a number of cases of homegrown jihadists come through town.”
