Islamic State terror chief told supporters to run over 'filthy French disbelievers' with their cars two years before Nice attack

An ISIS leader predicted the attack in Nice two years ago when he urged jihadists to run over the 'filthy French disbelievers' in their cars, Daily Mail reports. ISIS has not claimed responsibility yet for last night's attack in Nice but it is widely believed that the driver of the lorry which ploughed into crowds celebrating

Bastille Day, killing 84 people and injuring scores more, was a jihadist. 

Abu Mohammed al-Adnani released a statement in September 2014 in which he urged ISIS sympathisers to carry out attacks on 'disbelieving' Westerners.

He said: 'If you can kill a disbelieving American or European - especially the spiteful and filthy French - or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way, however it may be.'

He went on: 'Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him.'

In January this year it was reported that al-Adnani, the terrorist movement's chief spokesman in Iraq, had been severely injured in an airstrike. 

Al-Adnani, who has even been earmarked as the group's next leader, was reported as having lost 'a large amount of blood' after being hit in the town of Barwanah, in the Anbar province.- Daily Mail
