Islamic State releases chilling video depicting final showdown with the West

Baghdad: The Islamic State had released a chilling video depicting its apocalyptic vision of the world, where IS fighters can be seen embarking on suicide missions as part of their final showdown with the West.

The video titled ‘Meeting at Dabiq’, which according to Sunni Muslims is a place in Syria where the ‘crusaders’ of the West will clash with the ‘believers’ of Islam in a final decisive battle.

In the video, a heavily armoured ISIS vehicle can be seen approaching the Colosseum, which according to a report in the Mirror, represents the armies of Rome.

As the video progresses, an Islamic State fighter is seen shaking hands with other armed fighters who are about to embark on their suicide missions. The jihadis embrace their comrades and a caption below says "goodbye to the companions".

Soon, battle scenes follow, with jihadis manning armoured vehicles and tanks equipped with rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

The video has been filmed in Iraq and shows Islamic State’s notion of a final war between jihadis and Western powers. The terror group’s gunners fire from their armoured vehicles on unknown targets in the video.

A map is shown in the video where the ISIS flag is marked over Algeria, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Egypt. Immediately after that, the screen shows flags of close to sixty countries that the Islamic State plans to conquer, including Japan and United States of America.

The narrator talks about how IS militants will destroy 'crusader' sites, referring to buildings that are synonymous with a country's image, like the Colosseum in Rome, the White House in the US.

'This is your last crusade, the next time it is us who will take the battle on your own land,' the narrator says.

This latest propaganda video, comes at a time when the West has ramped up its mission against the Islamic State and has intensified bombings on IS held territories in Syria.
