ISIS fanatics call for truck attacks in latest propaganda

ISIS has urged fanatics to carry out vehicle attacks in a chilling poster showing a picture of blood on the front of a lorry.

The terror group called on would-be lone-wolf jihadists to ‘hit them with a truck’ and to ‘kill them all’ in the propaganda material. 

Muharar al-Ansar, the pro-ISIS group that released the poster, has previously released similar graphics calling for arson and gun attacks, according to the respected SITE Intelligence group which monitors terror activity.

ISIS has used vehicles to carry out a wave of atrocities in the past, with similar attacks taking place in Britain, the US, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden and claiming well over 100 lives.
