MOSCOW (AFP) – Islamic State militants have
issued a threat to 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,” said the militant. “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,” said the fighter. “We are
already on our way God willing.”
In the same video, several fighters, some dressed
in traditional Muslim robes, threaten Syrian leader
Bashar al-Assad from atop the fighter jet.
“This is Russian equipment,” says a voice,
speaking in accented Russian, as the camera cuts
to a close-up of the plane’s cabin.
The Prosecutor’s Office said it requested that
investigators open a criminal probe into the video.
The Kremlin fought two wars with separatists in
Chechnya over the past 20 years. The unrest has
since engulfed the entire North Caucasus including
Dagestan and Ingushetia where attacks on
authorities are a regular occurence.
The Kremlin, whose attention over past months
has focused on the Ukraine crisis, is one of the
main backers of the Assad regime, providing it
with diplomatic and military support in its fight
against rebels.
The Islamic State, a Sunni extremist group, has
gained prominence in recent months, declaring an
Islamic “caliphate” in regions under its control in
Iraq and Syria.
The militants stirred a global outcry last month
when they beheaded US journalist James Foley.
The fighters said on Tuesday they had beheaded a
second US journalist, Steven Sotloff.
