Threats on the Vatican from Daesh (ISIS) Uncovered

Intelligence Group Enterprise is an agency that closely monitors propaganda from Daesh. The agency published on its website a video uploaded by the Wafa Media Foundation, one of the Islamic State’s media outlets.

A jihadist can be seen at the wheel of a BMW, heading straight for St. Peter’s Basilica. Next to him are an automatic gun and a backpack. In the top left corner: “Christmas Blood. So Wait…”.

Investigation on the video has revealed that it was recorded in the city of Marawi in the Philippines, where government forces are struggling against a militia affiliated with Daesh, the “Maute Group”.

Terrorist threats often grow stronger around Christmas: in 2016, a Christmas market was targeted by Daesh in Berlin, killing ten people and wounding dozens.
