German
rapper turned Islamic State terrorist Denis Cuspert has released a
music video threatening his home nation with a Charlie Hebdo-like
atrocity.
The
propaganda production made by the 39-year-old, who now calls himself
Abu Talha al-Amani, is filled with horrific footage of prisoners being
beheaded and Jordanian pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh being burned alive.
In the slick three-minute video, he sings: ‘In France deeds were done, in Germany the sleepers are waiting. We want your blood.

German rapper turned Islamic State
terrorist Denis Cuspert has released a music video threatening his home
nation with a Charlie Hebdo-like atrocity
In the slick
three-minute video Cuspert sings 'in France deeds were done, in Germany
the sleepers are waiting. We want your blood'
The propaganda video contains staged footage of bombs being assembled and guns being prepped
‘Even if you’re in Europe, wage your jihad. Allah will reward you, put an end to the filthy ones. Oh Allah destroy them.’
The
video contains footage of passages from the Koran such as ‘kill the
polytheists wherever you find them’ being highlighted, along with images
of Western soldiers being treated in hospital and staged footage of
bombs being assembled and guns being prepped.
News
clips from last year’s Paris attacks carried out by Saïd and Chérif
Kouachi – who murdered Charlie Hebdo staff members - and Amedy
Coulibaly, who gunned down shoppers at a Jewish supermarket, also
accompanie the singing.
Cuspert
had been a relatively successful rapper under the name Deso Dogg before
trading in his faux-gangster lifestyle to wage jihad on behalf of the
Islamic State.
In
February it was revealed that the militant - who has starred in several
grisly beheading videos for the Islamic State - was being spied on for
the FBI by a Syrian woman he thought was his wife.
The
spy transmitted critical information about the rapper and his ISIS
colleagues before escaping to Turkey - where she was arrested and then
turned over to the US, according to the German newspaper Bild.

The paper said German and American intelligence sources confirmed the existence of the operation, Fox News reports.
The unidentified woman fled Syria after her handlers told her it was no longer safe to continue the mission as militants had began to hunt and flush out infiltrators. She is now thought to be in the US.
German newspaper Bild believe Cuspert may have been targeted for the operation because of his womanising past.
In Germany
he fathered three children by three different women, including one who
he dumped just before embarking on his career as an ISIS poster boy. Cuspert arrived in Syria in 2013 from a so-called German jihadi colony in Egypt.
In February the US added rapper Cuspert
to its list of 'global terrorists' - freezing all his assets under US
control and prohibiting any transactions with him in the future.
The State Department said: 'Cuspert
is emblematic of the type of foreign recruit ISIL seeks for its ranks
-– individuals who have engaged in criminal activity in their home
countries who then travel to Iraq and Syria to commit far worse crimes
against the people of those countries.'
Last November, Cuspert was compared to Nazi Minister for
Propaganda Joseph Goebbels for his ability to appeal to young,
disillusioned people in Europe while providing an alternative ideology.
He spent several years as a major player in the Berlin hip hop scene under the name 'Deso Dogg' before embracing radical Islam.
He
has been known to oversee the group's sophisticated media operation and
is reportedly using British fighters in an attempt to attract even more
of their countrymen to the war-torn region.
It is understood he leads a unit of German-speaking ISIS terrorists operating under the name 'The German Brigade of Millatu Ibrahim'.
