The Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the crash of a Russian passenger plane that went down in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula on October 31, killing all 224 people on board.
Subtitles of the chant’s lyrics have been posted, which declare that “the lions of Ummah have awoken” and soon Russian blood “will spill like an ocean”.

U.S., British and other authorities believe that a bomb, possibly placed inside of the luggage compartment, exploded, causing the plane to break apart in the air before crashing to earth. “Are those Russian soldiers willing to die for the caprices and egoism of Putin?” They’ve been trying this for awhile, and have faced a lot of resistance from the rebels, but growing concerns about ISIS may get Russian officials more creative about getting the deal going.
“Many threats are being issued against Russia due to their intervention in Syria since September, and this video is clearly just one more threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin”, Khan said.
As of Thursday afternoon, Kurdish military officials said they had captured three villages outside the town and seized portions of Highway 47, cutting off a major supply route between Isis’s strongholds of Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria.
