A video purportedly made by an Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) follower threatens London with a terror attack, and claims British transport and political hubs Heathrow, Gatwick and Downing Street “are next.”
The video shows a man in a balaclava addressing the camera with a British accent.
“Belgium, Brussels airport… Big boom went off, innit!
“Heathrow, Gatwick, Downing Street… You’re next,” he says.
The unverified video comes just days after an Islamic State suicide bomb attack on Brussels killed 34 people and injured more than 200.
The attacks were carried out at Zaventem Airport and Maakbeel Metro station in central Brussels. Both took place during the morning rush hour.
Later Tuesday, Islamic State released a statement claiming responsibility for the attack.
It read: “Islamic fighters carried out a series of bombings with explosive belts and devices on Tuesday, targeting an airport and a central metro station in the center of the Belgian capital Brussels, a country participating in the international coalition against the Islamic State.
“Islamic State fighters opened fire inside Zaventem Airport, before several of them detonated their explosive belts, as a martydom bomber detonated his explosive belt in the Maalbeek Metro station.
“The attacks resulted in more than 230 dead and wounded.”
