Iraqi militants have threatened to respond to US airstrikes by attacking American targets, posting a video in which they warn: “We will drown all of you in blood”.
The video, which shows a photograph of an American who was beheaded during the US occupation of Iraq, warned the group will attack Americans “in any place” if the strikes hit any of its fighters.
Fellow patriots, please listen to this short, inspiring message from General Flynn. General Michael Flynn exemplifies patriotism, courage, and love of God and country - despite some of his own countrymen relentlessly attacking him. Donations for his defense are greatly appreciated. If you can only give $5.00, please do so - every little bit helps. Thank you so much, and God bless.
Letter from General Flynn.
Unlike al Qaeda, IS has, to date, focused on seizing land in Iraq and Syria for its self-proclaimed caliphate, rather than attacking Western targets.
The chilling message, which was in English, came as fighting resumed at Mosul Dam in northern Iraq, according to Sky sources.
Barack Obama last night announced Kurdish peshmerga troops, supported by US jets, had recaptured the strategically important dam.
The US president said Islamic State (IS) fighters remained “a threat to Iraq and the entire region” and said Iraqis “must reject them and unite by pushing them out of lands they have occupied”.
“They claim to represent Sunni grievances but they slaughter Sunni men, women and children,” he said, adding limited military missions would continue.
Meanwhile, Sky News has gained exclusive access to suspected IS militants who were captured by Kurdish fighters.
The trio are being held in a secret location, claiming they were tortured into making confessions.
David Cameron insisted Britain would not be dragged into another war in Iraq to fight what he called “monstrous” jihadists.
He spoke out after it emerged the UK had briefly sent a number of ground troops to Irbil to prepare for a rescue mission to help displaced Yazidi people.
A strongly worded statement followed confusion over Britain’s involvement in Iraq after a series of media interviews by senior ministers.
“I want to be absolutely clear to you and to families watching at home. Britain is not going to get involved in another war in Iraq,” the Prime Minister said in a televised address.
“We are not going to be putting boots on the ground. We are not going to be sending in the British Army.”
Mr Cameron’s pledge followed comments by Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, who said the UK’s latest involvement in Iraq would likely last “weeks and months”.
