ISIS barbarians suggested the packed streets of Manhattan during America’s November 24 holiday would be “an excellent target” for an attack.
The chilling threat is contained in the latest edition of Rumiyah, a hate-filled propaganda rag produced by the terror group.
Crazed ISIS loyalists suggest using a VBIED, or vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, to kill and maim spectators, millions of whom pack the streets of New York each year for the annual party.
This year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is particularly significant as it is the 90th anniversary of the department store’s event.
A spokesman for the New York Police Department refused to be drawn on specific plans for the day but said there were “no credible threats to NYC”.
He told Express.co.uk: “There is always a large police presence at the Thanksgiving Day parade.
“This year there will be a large visible presence including critical response command (CRC) and strategic response group (SRG).”
