Islamic State group releases video with exploding Eiffel Tower
The video comes shortly after ISIS supporters launched an online poll asking supporters which country should be attacked next.
London: Those slick, sickening ISIS videos are back. A new video posted online by ISIS supporters on Saturday shows Paris' iconic Eiffel Tower exploding and crashing to the ground - complete with in stylised gore and animation.
The clip — which reports claim has been ripped from a video game — begins with a river of blood pooling and dripping off a wooden table filled with stacks of American dollars, guns, knives and bullets.
The video actually has the name of a video game designer with a US company carved into the wood of the animated table.
The video is titled “A message to the Western Kafir (disbelievers) from the Supporters of the Caliphate.” The narration is in English and subtitled in Arabic and the video was posted on YouTube and other file-sharing sites.
The video comes shortly after ISIS supporters launched an online poll asking supporters which country should be attacked next — the UK has topped the poll. “What will the colour of the Eiffel Tower be in the next attacks?”, asked the poll, posted on an online forum being run by ISIS backers.
The Eiffel Tower was recently lit by the colours of the Belgian flag after the terror attacks in Brussels.
