The U.S. Embassy in Rome is urging Americans visiting Italy to remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings amid the latest ISIS threats.
The video mentions Times Square and purports to show an explosive device being put together and a bomber zipping his jacket over a suicide belt.

Terrorists from the Islamic State have recorded yet another video with threats.
“Fear is the oxygen of terrorism and what they’re trying to do is pump much more oxygen into the system”, Bratton said.
De Blasio said that the NYPD this week “initiated the first wave of our new Critical Response Command, which will grow to 500 officers specifically dedicated to anti-terrorism activities”, he said. While Times Square and Herald Square appear in the video, the NYPD in conjunction with all of our partners are taking all necessary security precautions in these areas and areas across the City.
Videos such as the one released on Wednesday are common.
A NY Police Department spokesman said a few of the video footage is old but the video reaffirms the message the city remains a top target for extremists.
“Let’s be clear, in a city of 8.5 million people, we’ve got to be confident”, said a calm de Blasio. The video names specific targets – including Washington, D.C., “America’s centre” – just like they “struck France in the centre of its abode in Paris”. “When we see the video, we make note of it, but it’s like a lot of videos we’ve seen”.
The new unit will supplement an existing 1,000-officer programme.
The video features two suspected ISIS fighters threatening to blow up the White House and launch more attacks on Paris.
