After Brussels attacks IS posts new video calling for Jihad
Brussels, Mar 24 (IBNS): After the deadly attacks on Tuesday in Belgium's capital Brussels, terror outfit Islamic State on Thursday released a video where it has called on its followers to claim victory and wage jihad.
In a video released on social media, the Islamic State claimed that Belgium was part of a coalition fighting militants in the Middle East.
It also featured the training of Belgian militants suspected in the Nov 13 shooting and suicide bombing rampage by the terror outfit that killed 130 people in Paris.
The video reportedly said: "The crusaders aircrafts, including Belgium's, continue to bomb Muslims in Iraq and the Levant in the night and day."
It further said: "Every Muslim who is well aware of the history of Islam, knows that the holy war against infidels is an integral part of Islam, and those who read history would know."
Nearly 30 people died and close to 300 were injured after the Brussels airport and a metro station were bombed on Tuesday.
Two brothers carried out the suicide bombings at the airport and metro, Belgian officials said. A massive search is being carried out to find the third suspect.
