Terrorist encouraged to take more hostages in desperate attempt to instill fear

'The scenario for such an attack is that one assaults a busy, public, and enclosed location...'

ISIS has long been suffering severe casualties in the war on terror, but in the latest issue of ISIS magazine Rumiyah, terrorists are encouraged to lure victims with false advertising and to take hostages.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - ISIS attacks and hostage situations are all the terrorists can do to incite fear, so the magazine is encouraging more instances.

Along with recommendations to lure victims, the magazine provided tutorials on how o use vehicles, knives and arson attacks to promote their cause.

The magazine's "Just Terror Tactics" series encourages lone jihads, called lone wolves, to "set heroic examples with their operations."

When taking hostages, they are encouraged not to "hold large number of the kuffar [unbelievers] hostage in order to negotiate one's demands," but to incite terror with "the language of force, the language of killing, stabbing and slitting throats, chopping off heads, flattening them under trucks, and burning them alive, until they give the jizyah [tax] while they are in a state of humiliation."

According to PJ Media, the article continues: "The scenario for such an attack is that one assaults a busy, public, and enclosed location and rounds up the kuffar who are present.

"Having gained control over the victims, one should then proceed to slaughter as many of them as he possibly can before the initial police response, as was outstandingly demonstrated by the mujahidin who carried out the Bataclan theatre massacre during the course of the blessed Paris raid."

The article continued, listing how to acquire weapons in conflict zones and underground dealers, how simple it is to purchase weapons in the U.S., and an image of an American gun show with the caption, "Gun conventions represent an easier means of arming oneself for an attack."

Other ways of acquiring weapons is ramming shops after they've closed for the night, grabbing weapons, then taking off.

"Alternatively, after some simple reconnaissance, one could follow the shop owner after he's closed for the day, ambush him or run him over with a vehicle, and then take his keys in order to gain access to the store's arsenal and any other location where he might be storing firearms and ammunition.

"Such targets though potentially offering a considerable gain in terms of ghanimah [booty], are ambitious in nature and should be pursued while keeping in mind that tactical and gun shop owners are normally the type who arm and train themselves and would not be as averse to engaging in a firefight when attacked."

Further information, such as where and when the best times to attack were listed, such as national holidays, when available authorities are in short supply.

To lure targets, the magazine suggested jihads place advertisements at unemployment centers for jobs no Muslim would take, then "subdue" each victim as they arrive for their interviews.

One can also advertise a studio apartment for rent - one that is too small to "attract large families." It would also be a great selling point to advertise the apartment is "ideal for students."

Craigslist and other, similar, sites are also great places to advertise for free and would require victims to visit the property, where the attacks can take place in secrecy.

"It is likewise important to be realistic when advertising and not advertise something far below its valued price, as this can attract the attention of authorities searching for stolen goods or possibly attract other suspicions."

When attempting to lure victims to apartments, the magazine also suggested a designated room for the bodies to keep victims from becoming suspicious right away.

In closing, the article specified: "One should not initiate his attack until the target has fully entered the property and is comfortable, so as to avoid any struggle and prevent the chance of him fleeing."

A loud television during the busier hours of day is the best way to mask the victim's screams.

"However, in order for the operation to gain wide publicity and more effectively plant terror into the hearts of the disbelievers, one can keep some of his victims alive and restrained, making for a more lengthy and drawn-out hostage scenario. One may then notify the authorities, explaining to them that he is a soldier of the Islamic State and informing them of what he has just done.

"...The intention of this delay is therefore only to prolong the terror, as the ideal scenario is that they storm the location and he is killed as a shahid - inshaallah - after having inflicted upon the kuffar a just massacre."
