ISIS is apparently planning attacks on London’s Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, according to a British militant who went on Twitter to call for the destruction of the landmarks.

The militant, identified as 32-year-old Abu Abdullah Britani (AKA Abu Rahin Aziz), went on the social media site to call on others to destroy the sites, according to The Mirror. Previously, Britani threatened to turn Buckingham Palace into a mosque.

His comments come about a week after Twitter tried to silence thousands of accounts that are associated with the terrorist organization.
