This is the shocking moment a French ISIS
fighter vowed to ‘fill the streets of Paris with dead bodies’ before he
shot a Syrian soldier in the back of the head and kicked him off a
cliff.
In a vile ‘message’ directed towards the
people of France, the masked militant spoke in perfect French before
brutally executing a Syrian army prisoner by shooting him in the head.
Ranting wildly into the high-definition
camera used to record the execution video, the fanatic told listeners
that ISIS ‘loves death like you love life’ and encouraged the group’s
supporters to continue to plot and carry out further terror attacks in
the European country.
Threat: In a vile ‘message’ directed
towards the people of France, the masked militant spoke in perfect
French before brutally executing a Syrian army prisoner by shooting him
in the head
Ranting wildly into the HD camera used
to record the execution video, the fanatic told listeners that ISIS
‘loves death like you love life’ and encouraged the group’s supporters
in France to carry out more terror attacks
Release: Peppering his dialogue with
rants about the strength of ISIS and how the terror group is protected
by Allah, the militant encouraged a fresh wave of terror attacks in the
French capital
Chillingly, the latest threat comes after a
series of ISIS-inspired attacks on France this year, including the
massacre the Charlie Hebdo attack in which 12 people were killed on
January 7 and the gruesome beheading of a delivery company owner near
Lyon on June 26.
Today’s stomach-churning video was filmed
in an ISIS-held area in Syria’s Hama province and was published online
by the terror group’s local propaganda office.
Standing on a remote cliff-top a jihadi
loomed over a kneeling Syrian regime army officer and claimed that he is
one of the estimated 500 French nationals waging jihad on behalf of the
terror group in the Middle East.
He declared that his ‘message’ is aimed
not only to French citizens, but also to the international community and
‘everyone who fights Allah and his prophet’.
Peppering his dialogue with rants about
the strength of ISIS and how the terror group is protected by Allah, the
militant encouraged a fresh wave of terror attacks in the French
capital.
Once he concluded his diatribe, the French
militant brutally shot the Syrian army soldier in the head with a
massive assault rifle, before kicking his corpse off the edge of the
cliff and sending it tumbling dozens of feet on to the rocks below.
The video then cut to gruesome close-up
footage of the dead man’s bloodied and battered body while the terrorist
stands close by.
Brutal: After his chilling diatribe the
French ISIS fighter shot his prisoner in the back of the head and
kicked his body over the side of a cliff
Execution: The Syrian soldier knelt at
the top of the cliff before he was shot in the back off the head and
kicked what looked like several hundred feet to the ground below.
Militants: Chillingly, the threat
follows several ISIS-inspired attacks in France this year, including the
massacre of 12 people at the Paris office of the Charlie Hebdo
satirical magazine on January 7 (pictured)

Victim: ISIS has praised last month’s
terror attack near Lyon by Yassin Salhi, 35, who beheaded his employer
Herve Cornara (pictured)
The barbaric video was released the day
after ISIS released its latest French language propaganda magazine,
which is being widely shared by the terror group’s supporters on
Twitter.
In the magazine, the terror group praised
last month’s terror attack near Lyon by delivery driver Yassin Salhi,
35, who beheaded his employer Herve Cornara and took a selfie with his
severed head after writing Arabic on it.
Salhi then drove with the corpse to a
nearby gas factory, which he crashed into in the vain hope it would
cause a massive explosion, before impaling Mr Cornara’s head on a fence
and surrounding it with home made Islamic flags.
Despite Salhi subsequently claiming he’d
only carried out the attack due to ‘personal difficulties’ and ‘problems
at home and work’, ISIS lauded the beheading because in their view it
‘hit the interests of the enemies of Allah’, according to
Vocativ.
Salhi – who is understood to have been
known to security services since at least 2006 – reportedly told
arresting officers he is a member of ISIS. He is thought to not have had
a criminal record and an investigation into his ‘possible
radicalisation’ was dropped in 2008.
But sources close to the investigation
said Salhi was radicalised more than a decade ago after contact with
Muslim convert Frederic Jean Salvi – known as ‘Ali’ – who is suspected
of preparing attacks in Indonesia with Al-Qaeda militants.
Terror suspect Yassin Salhi returns to his apartment with Special Forces, in Saint-Priest, France last month.

Salhi’s attack at the American-owned Air Products
factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier came only six months after 17 people
were killed in a string of Islamist attacks in Paris that began with
the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
Last month French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said the world is engaged in a ‘war against terrorism’.
‘We cannot lose this war because it’s
fundamentally a war of civilisation. It’s our society, our civilisation
that we are defending,’ Valls told iTELE news channel.
France is facing ‘a major terrorist threat’ which needs to be fought ‘over the long-term’, he warned.
There are 1,573 French nationals or people resident in France ‘listed as being implicated in terrorist networks.’
Of these, 442 are believed to be fighting in Syria, where 97 have died.
