ISIS has warned that the Manchester terror attack will be the first of many, and claimed that efforts to show defiance against jihadists have been a ‘complete failure’.
The terror group’s online magazine said the focus of its followers has shifted to carrying out attacks on ‘Crusader soil’.
Last month’s attack at the Manchester Arena by 22-year-old Salman Abedi claimed 22 innocent lives, including that of a girl as young as eight.
It comes against the backdrop of the fundamentalists losing territory in Iraq and Syria, leading to a change of focus.
Since the attack and the publication of the magazine, eight people were killed during an attack by three fanatics at London Bridge on Saturday night.
A sickening editorial in the jihadists’ Rumiyah magazine said: ‘Just one week before the blessed month of Ramadan, the world’s attention was focused on the British city of Manchester.
‘A soldier of the Khilafah had carried out a Just Terror operation, striking Manchester Arena at the conclusion of a concert by an American singer.’
The piece continued: ‘The explosion rocked the city and filled its residents with terror as many of them scrambled to try to contact their loved ones and ensure that they were safe.
‘Then, the casualty figures started emerging: More than 20 had been killed and dozens more had been wounded. The total would later climb to nearly 100 dead and wounded.’
And the item, which was written before the weekend’s One Love Manchester concert, in which performers from around the world showed their defiance to terrorists, claimed the ‘enemies of Islam’ had failed.
It said: ‘In the wake of the bombing, the panic-ridden friends and relatives took to social media to enlist the help of strangers in the search for their loved ones, local pubs began offering free booze to emergency personnel in need of clearing their minds of the traumatic scenes they had witnessed, British ‘Muslims’ came out and offered their token denunciations out of fear of retaliation, massive numbers of police and military personnel were deployed on the streets, the UK threat level was raised to ‘Critical,’ politicians brought their campaigning for the upcoming general elections to a halt, the distraught and ‘broken’ American singer placed her European tour on hold and went home, and the Chelsea FC football team cancelled their victory parade in London.
