Islamic State claims responsibility for American shootings

Islamic State militants on Tuesday claimed responsibility for shootings on American soil and warned of further attacks, reports the Guardian.

In a statement made on Tuesday, the militants claimed responsibility for a carton festival in Texas on Sunday that featured cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed.

The Islamic State broadcast, warned,

“We tell America that what is coming will be even bigger and more bitter, and that you will see the soldiers of the Islamic State do terrible things. The future is just around the corner.”

The White House press secretary, in response to the Islamic State claims, indicated that it was premature to say that Islamic State had “reached US shores.”
