They were accused by the terrorist organization of collaborating with the Syrian regime. 25 OCTOBER: The Islamic State (IS) released a statement on jihadist forums on Saturday in which it urged Muslims in the United States (US), France, Germany and the United Kingdom (UK) to attack targets in their host countries by imitating the terrorist who attacked a policeman with an axe on October 23 in New York.
