Remedial ISIS Tutorial Steers Jihadists Toward Heavier, Deadlier Truck Attacks (https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2017/05/05/remedial-isis-tutorial-steers-jihadists-toward-heavier-deadlier-truck-attacks/)
ISIL continues to encourage lone wolves and grassroots jihadists in simple attacks against the infidel.
The Islamic State just published a remedial step-by-step pictorial for lone jihadists on how to use a heavy vehicle to kill, walking would-be terrorists through how to acquire a vehicle and which targets to strike.
ISIS' monthly Rumiyah magazine, which publishes online in 10 languages including English, last covered vehicle attacks in their November issue "Just Terror Tactics" segment, using Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, who plowed a cargo truck through a crowd of Bastille Day revelers in Nice, France, last summer, as their key example.
In that article, ISIS encouraged shying away from budget sedans and "off-roaders, SUVs, and four-wheel drive vehicles" that "lack the necessary attributes required for causing a blood bath" as "smaller vehicles lack the weight and wheel span required for crushing many victims." They recommended trucks with double wheels for "giving victims less of a chance to escape being crushed by the vehicle’s tires." Long semi trucks were discouraged because of the possibility of jack-knifing.
The terror group encouraged jihadists to find a vehicle with a "metal outer frame which are usually found in older cars, as the stronger outer frame allows for more damage to be caused when the vehicle is slammed into crowds, contrary to newer cars that are usually made of plastics and other weaker materials." A picture of a U-Haul truck was shown with the caption "an affordable weapon." A picture of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade was shown with the words "an excellent target.
