ISIS Threatens Russia in a New Video

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

WOLF: "Let's get right to the breaking news. A new threat from ISIS, this time against Russia. ISIS has just released a nearly 5-minute long video and auto statement saying it would attack Russia, quote, very soon. The video is titled soon, very soon. The blood will spill like an ocean. That video's release comes at the same time as word that Russia may be planning to retaliate for the crash of its metro jet airliner in Egypt's Sinai peninsula killing all 224 people on board. Intelligence agencies have come to believe ISIS in Sinai's offshoot planted the bomb on that plane before takeoff. Joining us live from Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt, and Jim Sciutto here in Washington. What more have we learned about this latest threat from ISIS directly to Russia?"

ELBAGIR: “Well, Wolf, this will only ramp up concerns expressed by U.S. Officials all the way up to the secretary of state, ash Carter, that with its involvement in the Syria conflict, Russia was opening itself up to threats by extremist groups and to extremist groups to carry out an act upon those threats. What most of those watching that video will have been looking for though will have been any stress firstcy regarding the metro jet crash and that didn't seem to be there. We went through the video. A lot of it was very generic. Didn't mention any involvement or any evidence of ISIS' broader involvement in the metro jet crash. That really plays into what we've been hearing from intelligence officials both here in Cairo and the U.S. That this was very much a franchise job. That metro jet, if it is indeed proven to be an act of terror, was one that was carried out by the ISIS Sinai offshoot and not from ISIS leadership in Syria and Iraq."
