Islamic State urges jihad against Russians, Americans: audio

BEIRUT

Islamic State called on Muslims to launch a "holy war" against Russians and Americans over what it called their "crusaders' war" in the Middle East, an audio message distributed by supporters of the ultra hardline group said on Tuesday.

"Islamic youth everywhere, ignite jihad against the Russians and the Americans in their crusaders' war against Muslims," the speech by Islamic State spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani said.

The United States and Russia are carrying separate airstrike campaigns in Syria, which they say are targeting Islamic State.

Washington says Moscow's campaign has mainly targeted other insurgent groups including those that have fought Islamic State, a charge Russia denies.

1. They have to stand in line with all the other jihadists who have vowed to fight the US

2. I thought we were already under jihad by those guys.

I can't keep up with all of the jihads anymore.

3. Didn't they do that already?

Or is this kind of like the jihadi version of renewing vows?
