"Listen Putin, we
will come to Russia and will kill you at your homes ... Oh
Brothers, carry out jihad and kill and fight them," a masked man
driving a car in the desert yelled while wagging his finger in
the last couple of minutes of the video.
The video with subtitles showed footage of armed men attacking
armored vehicles and tents and collecting arms in the desert.
"Breaking into a barrack of the Rejectionist military on the
international road south Akashat," read one subtitle.
It was not immediately possible to independently verify the
video but the link to the footage was published on a Telegram
messaging account used by the militant group.
It was not immediately clear why Russia would be a target, but
Russia and the U.S. are talking about boosting military and
intelligence cooperation against Islamic State and al Qaeda in
Syria.
Islamic State has called on its supporters to take action with
any available weapons targeting countries it has been fighting.
There has been a string of deadly attacks claimed by Islamic
state in Europe over the past weeks. Last week, assailants loyal
to Islamic State forced an elderly Catholic priest in France to
his knees before slitting his throat. Since the mass killing in
Nice, southern France on July 14, there have been four incidents
in Germany, including the most recent suicide bombing at a
concert in Ansbach.
