IS releases video of Paris attackers threatening coalition nations

Video shows nine Paris attackers apparently in Iraq and Syria, some time before they killed 130 people in Paris in November
The video's narrator said all nations standing with the coalition were targets

The Islamic State (IS) group has released a video it says shows nine men involved in the November Paris attacks that killed 130 people in which they threaten "coalition" countries.

The video, "Kill wherever you find them," apparently shows four Belgians, three French citizens and two Iraqis said to be responsible for Paris.

It depicts the nine carrying out atrocities before the rampage in Paris, including beheadings and shootings, in areas controlled by IS in either Syria or Iraq. If the identities of those involved are confirmed, the video would suggest that all had been in the group's territory some time before Paris.

The Paris killers say their "message is addressed to all the countries taking part in the (US-led) coalition" that has been fighting IS in Syria and Iraq since September 2014.

The footage also shows a picture of British Prime Minister David Cameron accompanied by the words in English: "Whoever stands in the ranks of kufr (unbelievers) will be a target for our swords."

President Francois Hollande said the video would not deter France from its fight against terrorism.

"Nothing will deter us, no threat will make France waver in the fight against terrorism," the French president told reporters in New Delhi during an official visit to India.

The video describes the attackers as "lions" who "brought France to its knees".

The footage shows images of the Paris attacks as well as security operations by French special forces during the onslaught.

It was not clear why the group released the video more than two months after the November 13 attacks.

Seven of the IS members died during the attacks and two in a subsequent police raid but the total number of those directly involved is still unclear.

Among the men shown in the video is suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud, identified by his nom de guerre Abu Umar al-Baljiki, or Abu Umar the Belgian.

Abaaoud, who was widely thought to have been in Syria fighting with IS forces in the past, was killed by French police days after the Paris attacks.

Hollande has said that the Paris attacks were planned in Syria but organised in Belgium.

Belgian authorities have formally charged 10 people in the case.

Four suspects remain at large, including Salah Abdeslam, who allegedly drove suicide bombers to the French national stadium outside Paris, as well as Mohamed Abrini, suspected of having helped scout out the attack sites. Both are from the Molenbeek area of Brussels.
