A Canadian member of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria issued a grim warning for the United States that his group is planning a “brilliant attack” on New York City, and claimed that they have thousands of Western prisoners they are willing to behead.
In a video conference interview with Vice News, Farah Shirdon (also known as Abu Usamah Somali) announced the plot while discussing the current operations of the terrorist group.
“We’ll sure be making attacks in New York soon [with Allah's permission]. A lot of brothers there are mobilizing right now [thanks to Allah],” Shirdon told Vice’s Shane Smith.
“What are they mobilizing for?” Smith asked.
Shirdon laughed and responded, “Mobilizing for a brilliant attack, my friend.”
He also claimed that ISIS has captured “thousands” of prisoners of the West and they plan to behead them if the United States and other countries continue their attacks.

LOL! Ain't that the truth!
It would make my day. LOL!
He would have had more credibility without that claim.
More brilliant than an air burst over the Grand Mosque?
I predict 100 red herrings in our future and 3 hits.
He is exaggerating but I wouldn’t scoff at his intentions.
That's the best synopsis of my thoughts yet.
Thanx, Peach

This guy is full of it.
So true. I was at a hotel once where an attack was planned. The cabs were all gone that usually lined up at the front door. The street vendors were gone and even the bar was closed by the pool. I was lucky, didn’t get a scratch. More than 100 other people weren’t so lucky.
Maybe somebody should tell ISIS that a lot of Americans have been walking around in a bad mood for about 6 years now and a chance to point that assault rifle at a Jihadi would likely be a real stress reliever. :-)
Kind of like joining the Army because you don't like your parents telling you what to do.
I bet that in NYC such signs will go unnoticed or worse, ignored.
Good advice from experience! Where were you?
I work in Manhattan and go through Penn Station every morning. There's a ton of guns about.
The citizens are unarmed, but there are various combinations of uniformed military and police with some big ass automatic weapons all over the place.
So, the bottom line, if the little jihadi dickheads show up, they're pretty well screwed, but if government tyranny rises up, the citizens are pretty well screwed.
The criminal element, of course, is well-positioned no matter what develops.
I think it’s time to go to their countries and use terrorist attacks. You know, bus bombs near schools, beheading their journalists, stuff like that.
Same reasoning. I don’t understand why they come over here and then complain that we don’t live the way they do, even demanding special food sections and foot baths. A reasonable person would just stay in the hellhole they came from if that is what they want.
But I guess their plan is to change the world.
If you care to, please relate your story.
I did see in the news that security has been stepped up in the NYC subways... but it “is just a precaution, not because of terror threats”.
