Isis aims to keep the tension high by inviting once again its followers to organize terrorist attacks in Western countries, primarily the US and allies. But also in Russia and Iran, considered enemies by the Islamic State. A call to action that less than 24 hours later may have found an immediate echo in Canada, where a van swooped into the crowd in Toronto immediately conjured up images of attacks in France and Germany. Although it is not yet clear whether the matrix is terrorist, Canada is one of the countries involved in the anti-Isis coalition, and therefore automatically considered a target by the jihadists. In a new speech published online, the official spokesman of the extremist organization, Abul-Hasan Al-Muhajir, again called for attacks on the countries of the coalition that fights ISIS in the Middle East. As often in these cases, the news was spread by analyst Rita Katz, director of the Site, the site that monitors the activities of jihadists online. Al-Muhajir also spoke of a "new phase" for the next war against Russia, a country that has come under fire since it decided to engage its military on the ground in Syria. But also against Iran, which is also active on the Syrian scene and whose Shiite faith is considered a 'disbeliever' by the Sunni fundamentalism that inspires the ideology of Isis. "Make these countries the theater of all your operations, so that the pagans and the Russians can taste a bit of the hell of their tyranny", attacked Al-Muhajir, not new to this kind of threats, which is now follow each other regularly in the maze of the web. Already in April of last year the same character appealed to the jihadists to attack Europe, Russia and the United States: "The war against our enemies is global", he said. As have similar threats to the United States more recently after the American decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem. In recent years, in parallel with the military defeats, the Islamic State has assumed the authorship of attacks all over the world, Afghanistan, Europe, Egypt, Iran, often carried out by the so-called lone wolves.
