Baghdad: The ISIS militant group who changed its name to Islamic State after seizing large parts of Iraq has issued another violent threat against the United States.
The group that drew the first American air strikes since the end of the occupation in 2011 posted a video online. The footage shows a US soldier being killed by a sniper and a photo of an American beheaded during Iraq operation followed by a statement in English which reads “We will drown all of you in blood”.
ISIS issued the latest threat on the same day President Barack Obama said in a press conference from the White House that American military assistance helped Iraqi and Kurdish forces retake the Mosul dam recently conquered by ISIS.
ISIS has warned that it would attack Americans 'in any place' if the raids hit its militants. The group had earlier issued similar threats against the US. A previous message posted on Twitter last week said "we are in your state, we are in your cities, we are in your streets" with a picture of the militant black flag with the White House in the background.
The militant group has been committing mass executions, kidnappings, beheadings and other atrocities during their bloody rampage through northern Iraq. The US has been assisting the Iraqi Kurds in their battle against the insurgents.
