(CNN)ISIS has released a gruesome new propaganda video that purports to show final messages from the Paris attackers.
The terror group has claimed responsibility for the November attack, which left 130 people dead.
The
roughly 18-minute tape starts with a montage of various news outlets
reporting on the Paris attacks. It is highly produced and edited.
The tape then shows the faces and names of nine people ISIS claims carried out the attacks in Paris.
"The
following are the final messages of the nine lions of the khilafah who
were mobilized from their dens to bring an entire country -- France --
to her knees," the video reads.
It goes on to report an audio message from the suspected ringleader of the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
The messages of the other eight attackers were filmed outside in what appears to be a desert.
None
mentions specifics of the Paris attack although some reference French
locations such as the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysees. One man says
the group was authorized to act by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
At the end of most of the messages, the militant kills a prisoner. The identities of the victims are not known.
ISIS
appears to signal in the video that its next target could be the United
Kingdom, according to CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank.
Footage
shows Britain's Prime Minster David Cameron and the vote in the British
House of Commons last year in which the United Kingdom voted to join
the anti-ISIS coalition conducting airstrikes on Syria.
Cruickshank
reported last year that intelligence obtained by European security
agencies indicated ISIS was aiming to attack the United Kingdom in a
follow-up to its Paris operation, citing a senior counterterrorism
official.
The intelligence suggests
British ISIS fighters have been tasked by senior ISIS operatives in the
so-called caliphate to return home and carry out an attack.
