ISIS makes chilling threat against Prince George
Islamic State extremists have targeted Prince George in a chilling new threat against the UK, saying, “Even the royal family will not be left alone.”
The ISIS fanatics allegedly posted a photo of the future king on encrypted instant messaging app Telegram alongside the young prince’s school address and the terrifying comment, “School starts early”.
It’s also believed the message contained words from a jihadi song, which translates from Arabic to: “When war comes with the melody of bullets, we descend on disbelief, desiring retaliation.”
Telegram has been described as a “breeding ground” for terrorists after it was revealed that extremists had been using the app to spread propaganda in the time leading up to the 2015 Paris attacks.
“Now we are seeing explicit threats,” internet surveillance expert Barry Spielman told the Daily Star. “It seems that as IS continues to lose ground in Syria and Iraq, it has stepped up its threats to hit the West.”
It’s not the first threat against the royal family – the Queen was targeted in 2015 and just last month, ISIS challenged Prince Harry to come and fight them. “Why don’t you come here and fight us if you’re man enough, so that we can send you and your Apaches to hellfire?”
