An ISIS propaganda group has been celebrating the fire that ripped through the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, calling it “retribution and punishment,” according to a counterterrorist organization.

Al-Muntasir Media appears to be simply using the tragedy to stoke anti-Western and anti-Christian hatred and does not suggest any terrorist activity was behind it.
