French ’ISIL’ Militants Burn Passports, Call for Extremism at Home: Video

Local Editor

A video released by so-called "Daesh" ["ISIL"] shows extremist militants burning French passports and calling on others to bring extremism to the streets of the European country.

Released by one of "Daesh's" main media outlets, Al Hayat, the video shows four men who purport to be from France, including three who deliver messages in French to camera.

One of the militants in the video is seen brandishing a US-made AR-15 assault rifle, according to Mail Online.

The video comes just days after two French nationals were shown on video taking part in a mass systematic execution of at least 18 men described as Syrian military personnel, and the announcement of the beheading of US aid worker Peter Kassig.

One militant identified as Abu Salman al-Faranci says that he has pledged an oath of allegiance to the so-called "Daesh" leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and suggests that those who cannot join the ranks of "Daesh" in Syria or Iraq should "operate within France".

A second militant identified as Abu Maryam Al Faranci says, "You will even fear travelling to the market."

This latest video is similar to other propaganda films by British, German, Chechen and Australian extremists issued in recent months and aimed at recruiting young men and women to join the group.
