The Sunday Times has obtained documents from ISIS fighters which discloses the caliphate's plot to attack various places in Europe.
The planned attacks would come after the terrorist group lost the last of its territory in Syria, the newspaper reports.
The terrifying plans claim there would be a "department of operations in Europe" to support ISIS members who are already living in those countries.
And planned target areas would be spaces "far away from Islamic State", where so-called "crocodile cell" assignation squads would roam.
Their role, according to the documents, would be to "kill the enemies of god".
Comment: Even if this is propaganda designed to create more fear, and regardless of who is behind it (e.g., ISIS itself, US psyops), the fact remains: the US has created a Frankenstein monster. Even without state sponsorship, ISIS will continue to live on as an ideology, and as long as there are people for whom it is attractive, it will have its effects. The only slight positive is that a large portion of the people susceptible to the ideology already traveled to Syria, and they're either in custody or dead.
