Islamic State called for the use of cars and trucks in terror attacks in Australia just weeks before the Nice atrocity.

A sophisticated propaganda video released by the terror group’s media centre called for followers to carry out attacks with chilling depictions of massacres in Europe, the US and Australia.

The footage, examined by the International Centre for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE), shows an ISIS militant preparing to run over a crowd in Australia, with instructions to ‘fill your cars with gas.’

The video, released during Ramadan, calls on IS followers to ‘Fill your cars with gas’

”Fill your cars with gas’ … the video instructs as it shows an ISIS soldier readying to run civilians down,’ the ICSVE report on the video says.

‘Realistic depictions of attacks are illustrated on the film: a suicide vest attack in New York City, a sniper attack in London, activating a German sleeper cell, and a driver of an SUV preparing to run over crowds in Australia.’

Footage shows a truck laden with explosives, alongside images of US soldiers being beheaded by IS militants. 

The video, released during Ramadan, was issued online just weeks before Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel crushed scores of people underneath the wheels of his 25 tonne truck on the Nice seafront. 

In a 2014 IS propaganda video, the group’s official spokesperson Mohammed al-Adani oredred disbelievers to be slaughtered by any means possible – ‘run him over with your car’.

‘Kill them in any manner or way however it may be. 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,’ al-Adani said in the speech..
