ISIS has today branded coronavirus a "soldier of Allah" as it threatens a mass murder in the UK and United States.
Experts fear the terrorist group could be exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic to recruit militants and plan deadly attacks against the disease-stricken west.
And in a chilling post online, ISIS propaganda units released pictures of Chicago and Tower Bridge in London with threatening text.
The image of London reads: “Hit them when they least expect it.
“Coronavirus – a soldier of Allah.”

ISIS propagandists have been touting coronavirus as God’s wrath upon the West, reports the SIT Intelligence Group.
Last year, the former leader of the terror group, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed during a raid led by US President Donald Trump.
But a former Brit intelligence officer recently told Daily Mirror "much of what has been achieved could be undone" in a short space of time.
"There are many ways in which the virus is creating multiple threats that have been kept at bay for some time," he said.
“Practically the conditions in the Middle East could be worsening in terms of the ongoing battle to quell ISIS and keep them at bay.
“Much of what has been achieved could be undone by the panic and break down of security in the region, allowing ISIS to reform and once again look to the west for attacks.”
Photos out of Syria suggest sick ISIS maniacs are already forcing soldiers to dig their own graves before fitting them with explosive devices and blowing them up.
