Many people are wondering what ISIS’s next move is following the Paris terror attacks on Friday and with the release of this new video below it appears that their next target is New York City.
In the video – which is overdubbed with some intense chanting – a terrorist is seen setting up a suicide bomb before the footage switches to Times Square – in particular highlighting TGI Fridays’s – and the guy seemingly pulling the pin out of the bomb. It’s pretty clear what that implies.

The NYPD have said there is no immediate cause for alarm though – or at least not anymore than usual – as the footage from the video was taken from another ISIS video targeting New York City in April and there is ‘no current or specific threat’ against the city.
They recognise that the city is and probably always will be a target for terrorists and they will remain in ‘a heightened state of vigilance’ and undergo more training for dealing with such incidents in the future.

Here’s hoping that nothing actually does happen to such a great city, and if it does then their police forces over there are able to deal with it to ensure a minimal loss of life. But basically, the sooner ISIS gets wiped out the better. Hopefully Task Force Black are well on their way to helping with that.
