ISIS Issues Chilling Threat To Russia, Saying Very Soon The The Blood Will Spill Like An Ocean

CAIRO – Islamic State has released a video threatening attacks in Russia “very soon,” the SITE monitoring group said on Thursday.

Al-Hayat Media Center, Islamic State’s foreign language media division, released a Russian language video with chants of  “Soon, very soon, the blood will spill like an ocean,” SITE reported.

Islamic State has previously called for attacks on Russia and the United States in revenge for airstrikes on its fighters in Syria.

Western intelligence officials suspect the ultra-hardline Sunni group of planting a bomb in a Russian passenger airplane which crashed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula two weeks ago.

Russia is likely to increase its military involvement in Syria due to the widely assumed terrorist bombing of the plane that crashed in Sinai on October 31.

However, the consequences of such an escalation in Syria and perhaps elsewhere against Islamic State in the Middle East, is going to have to be weighed against the fallout – more attempts by the terrorist group to carry out attacks against Russia worldwide.

Israel would closely follow any changes in Russia’s involvement in Syria, as it may hamper its own maneuverability in the country.
