Australian ISIS fighter 'Abu Adam' appears in new video

AN Australian Islamic State fighter has appeared in a new propaganda video, urging terror attacks using nail guns, lorries and petrol — and to join the fight in The Philippines.

The latest in a series of brief videos — Inside the Khilafah 2 — shows the apparently well-equipped fighter sitting in the rubble of a tall building in the Syrian city of Raqqa with his AK-47 assault rifle behind him.

He is believed to be former Melbourne man Mounir Raad, now going under the name Abu Adam al-Australi.

In the video, Abu Adam extols Muslims in Australia to join the fight in The Philippines to liberate Marawi, a city seized in June by militants claiming to be linked to Islamic State.

He attacks the Australian government for providing support for the Philippines government in its fight against his ‘brothers’.

Abu adam calls on all Australian Muslims who cannot make it to Marawi to instead “make the lands of the Crusaders your battlefields” — by launching a series of “just terror attacks” at home.

And he details how.

A series of graphics are overlayed against the wall beside him, detailing potential easily-accessible weapons to use in terror attacks.

Among the ‘weapons of choice’ are nail guns and trucks. An image of a petrol can flashes up as he urges supporters to “burn them in their homes”.

An earlier video released last week showed an Islamic State jihadist with a British accent sitting in a similar tower in the besieged capital of the caliphate, urging Muslims the world over to rise up in support.

Heavy vehicles are again being promoted as weapons of terror.
