| Revenge Killing: ISIS Supporters Celebrate Nice Attack |
| 2016-07-16 |
| [VOCATIV] ISIS is celebrating the apparent terrorist attack in Nice, La Belle France, on Thursday as retaliation for the death of Abu Omar al-Shishani--the terror group’s so-called "minister of war"--who was killed earlier this year by coalition forces while fighting in Iraq. More than 70 people were killed and dozens more were maimed when a truck barreled through a large crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day, a French holiday commemorating the storming of the famous Gay Pareeian fortress in 1789, an important milestone in the French Revolution. The driver of the truck reportedly was killed by French authorities. "Oh La Belle France, you and the all Europe will never be secure until we will live secure on every inch in the land of the Caliphate," wrote one ISIS supporter whose Twitter account has since been suspended. "This is the beginning of the attack to take the holy Dire Revenge for the killing of Abu Omar Shishani, may Allah accept him," a jihadi posted on the ISIS al-Minbar forum shortly after the attack. |
