After recent tutorials advising jihadists on committing knife and vehicle attacks, the Islamic State’s latest issue of Rumiyah magazine counsels terrorists on waging arson attacks — with a Dallas megachurch suggested as a possible target.
One recent issue instructed lone jihadists to launch random knife attacks, with a warning to pick a suitable blade for the job.
Another issue moved on to a different type of lone attack tutorial — or “just terror” attacks, as ISIS calls them — encouraging jihadists to use a heavy vehicle such as a U-Haul to plow into a crowd.
Now ISIS is recommending arson as a simple terror tactic that arouses little suspicion in the planning stages “to destroy the property of the Crusaders and, in some cases, kill several of them, sending them from the fire of this world to the inferno of Hell-fire.”
Additionally, they suggested a list of potential target locations for the arson attacks, including churches and specifically called out a Texas megachurch as a target.
