An ISIS sympathizer who stabbed and killed a couple with ties to the French police had posted a video of the attack on Facebook.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which has tracked ISIS, said the suspect, Larossi Abballa, recorded a video of himself amid the attacks in Magnanville, a suburb of Paris. The website posted photos of him and said the ISIS' Amaq news agency released his video, apparently as a form of propaganda.
In the video, according to SITE director Rita Katz, Abballa urged more attacks from Muslims in France, saying, “kill them even if their name is Mohammad or Aisha,” which are names commonly given to Muslims.
“Attack them, even if you die.Then you'll go to Paradise,” he also stated.
Katz added that the video is a first “of its kind” published by Amaq, which mainly releases propaganda videos or clips of fighting in Iraq and Syria. Amaq wrote that he was an “Islamic State fighter” who killed a “deputy chief of the police station ... and his wife with blade weapons near Paris.”
