Islamic State calls on lone wolves to carry out massacres in the West

MADRID, 28 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Islamic State jihadist group called on lone wolves this Thursday to carry out massacres against Christians and Jews during the month of Ramadan in the West, citing the United States, Israel and Europe.

The spokesman for the terrorist group, Abu Hudhayfa al Ansari, celebrated the attack on the concert hall in Crocus City Hall, on the western outskirts of Moscow, which left 143 dead and around 200 injured, according to figures from the Russian authorities. .

The message in Arabic, spread through the jihadist group's usual propaganda channels, has been confirmed by SITE Intelligence Group, an organization specialized in monitoring terrorist groups.

The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, acknowledged on Monday that the attack was the work of "radical Islamists", although he opened the door to speculation after ensuring that it was necessary to investigate "who benefits" from the attack, alluding to possible links of those detained with Ukraine.
