g********2 发帖数: 6571 | 1 The deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 followed a clarion
call by ISIS to its supporters in the United States to launch attacks during
Ramadan, the Islamic Holy Month, which started last week.
In an audio recording released on May 21, ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammed al
Adnani called for "a month of hurt" in the United States as well as Europe.
His message to ISIS sympathizers like Orlando shooter Omar Mateen: Stay home
and kill anybody, anyhow, anywhere.
'Terrorize them'
"The smallest action you do in the heart of their land is dearer to us than
the largest action by us, and more effective and more damaging to them," al
Adnani said, according to a translation by the SITE Intelligence Group.
"And if one of you wishes and tries hard to reach the Islamic State, then
one of us wishes to be in your place to hurt the Crusaders day and night
without sleeping, and terrorize them so that the neighbor fears his neighbor
."
It was the latest in a series of calls for attacks by Adnani, whose fatwas
describing hitting the West as religious duty have motivated multiple
plotters on both sides of the Atlantic to launch attacks.
It was also the most strident call for attacks yet and a sign ISIS is
mobilizing its supporters and fighters to wage an all-out campaign of
revenge as it loses territory in Syria, Iraq and Libya.
Western intelligence officials believe Adnani oversees ISIS' external attack
plotting and had command responsibility for the Paris and Brussels attacks.
