ISIS Threaten to cut Off Obama's head
The most notorious Islamic militant in the world right now, ISIS, has come out to threaten one of the most powerful country in the world, the United States by cutting off the head of their president, Barrack Obama, in a video released on Jan. 26.
In the video were ISIS members standing while a Kurdish soldier was seated but was executed at the end of the video.
Befofe the Kurdish soldier was
executed, the executioner delivers a message in Kurdish, which was
subtitled into Arabic in the video.
"Know, oh Obama, that we will
reach America. Know also that we will cut off your head in the White
House and transform America into a Muslim province," the militant says
according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
The militant then continues his
threat against other Western nations, saying: "And this is my message to
France and its sister, Belgium. We advise you that we will come to you
with car bombs and explosive charges and we will cut off your heads."
The video appeared to be a response by the Islamic State to a multitude of setbacks
it has faced in the past week. On Jan. 26, Islamic State fighters
withdrew from the Syrian-Kurdish city of Kobani after a failed
four-month siege in which the militant group lost as many as 1,500 fighters.
Simultaneously, the Kurdish
Peshmerga forces have started conducting operations aimed at dislodging
the Islamic State from Mosul, the crown jewel of the group's domain in
Iraq. Kurdish forces have launched rockets
into Mosul in an attempt to target Islamic State militants, while US
forces have regularly conducted airstrikes in the region outside the
city.
In retaliation for the strikes, the Islamic State militants end their video by executing the Kurdish soldier.
The militants also include a
warning for Kurdistan President Barzani: "This is one of your soldiers'
fate, and every time you launch a missile, we will send you back the
head of one of your soldiers."
Can that really happen?
