The Islamic State has threatened to behead President Barack Obama in the White House and transform the United States into a Muslim province in the latest gruesome video to emerge from the terrorist organization.
In the video, released on Jan. 26, ISIS militants can be seen standing in the streets of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city which has been captured by ISIS, Breitbart reported. After featuring an artillery barrage on the city by Kurdish Peshmerga forces, who have been accused of using American bombs and chemical weapons in combat, a black-clad ISIS executioner delivers a message in Kurdish.
"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).
Upon capturing the U.S., the terror group will install Islamic law and incorporate America into its fledging self-styled caliphate, the video warns.
Apart from the U.S., the video also issues warning messages to other Western nations, UK MailOnline reported.
"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 militant states.
The latest threat comes after ISIS faced multiple setbacks over the past week.
On Jan. 26, "ISIS 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," according to Business Insider. Simultaneously, the Kurdish Peshmerga forces have been able to push ISIS out of Mosul, with U.S. not only supplying the Kurds with new weapons and humanitarian supplies but also attacking the terrorist targets directly.
Meanwhile, the militant saves his most personal attack for Kurdistan President Masoud Barazani, who is currently leading the fight against ISIS in Iraq.
"As for you, oh Masoud (Barazani), you dog, we are going to behead you and throw you into the trash bin of history. Know that we are men who fear no-one. We will institute the laws of Allah, may he be exalted and praised."
"You are killing children and bombarding civilians while claiming that this is forbidden in your constitution."
"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," the militant claims before executing a Kurdish soldier ate the conclusion of the video.
