Reuters: Islamic State video threatens attacks in Russia ‘very soon’

Islamic State has released a video threatening attacks in Russia "very soon", the SITE monitoring group said on Thursday, according to Reuters.

Al-Hayat Media Center, Islamic State's foreign language media division, released a Russian language video with chants of "Soon, very soon, the blood will spill like an ocean", SITE reported, according to Reuters.

Islamic State has previously called for attacks on Russia and the United States in revenge for airstrikes on its fighters in Syria.

Western intelligence officials suspect the ultra-hardline Sunni group of planting a bomb in a Russian passenger airplane which crashed in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula two weeks ago.
