ISIS supporters threaten to blow up Big Ben and attack New York

An ISIS propaganda outlet has threatened to bomb London and New York ahead of US July 4 celebrations.

The terrorists shared an image of St Stephen’s tower which was digitally manipulated, removing the scaffolding and adding flames along with a caption ‘coming soon’.

Brooklyn Bridge in New York was another site threatened by the terrorists in the propaganda sheet.

In the first image, a terrorist is shown on Westminster Bridge looking northwards towards the Palace of Westminster.

The second shows a US soldier fleeing from the site of a terrorist attack on Manhattan. The image shows Manhattan under attack.

ISIS has previously used online magazines to recruit terrorists and relay instructions about how to launch attacks.

The latest publication was uncovered by Site Intel Group, who investigate extremist organisations such as ISIS.

Westminster Bridge has already been the subject of an ISIS terrorist attack which led to the deaths of six people, including the terrorist Khalid Masood.

Among those murdered during the Westminster attack in March 2017 was PC Keith Palmer, who was stabbed 12 times with two knives by Khalid Masood.

An inquest into PC Palmer’s death showed how the unarmed officer had bene let down by security procedures which stationed armed support too far away form him to provide sufficient backup.

Kurt Cochran, 54, Leslie Rhodes, 75, Aysha Frade, 44, and Andreea Cristea, 31, were also killed after being hit by the Hyundai being driven by Masood.

Masood crashed his car before stabbing PC Keith Palmer, 48, to death at the gates to the Palace of Westminster before being shot three times by police on March 22, 2017.
