Islamic State Says Vladimir Putin's Throne Is 'Under Threat and Will Fall When We Come to You'

THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: Moscow: Islamic State militants have issued a threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin, vowing to oust him and "liberate" the volatile North Caucasus over his support of the Syrian regime.

The General Prosecutor's Office of Russia demanded that access to the address, which was posted on YouTube on Tuesday and features what jihadists say is a Russian-supplied fighter jet, be blocked.

"This is a message to you, oh Vladimir Putin, these are the jets that you have sent to Bashar, we will send them to you, God willing, remember that," said one fighter in Arabic, according to Russian-language captions provided in the video.

"And we will liberate Chechnya and the entire Caucasus, God willing," the militant said.

"The Islamic State is and will be and it is expanding, God willing.

"Your throne has already teetered, it is under threat and will fall when we come to you because Allah is truly on our side.

"We are already on our way, God willing." (+ video) » | AFP | Thursday, September 04, 2014
