The Islamic State group is urging its supporters to carry out attacks on Times Square and other famous tourist attractions in the US with easily assembled homemade bombs.
According to the New York Post and as reported by Vocativ, a message posted on an ISIS Web forum lists widely available ingredients needed to build a pipe bomb, and includes photos showing how to combine them into a deadly explosive device.
The message in Arabic specifically mentions Times Square and the Las Vegas Strip as main targets.
The message titled "To the Lone Wolves in America: How to Make a Bomb in Your Kitchen, to Create Scenes of Horror in Tourist Spots and Other Targets," also suggests carrying out terror attacks in Texas and mass-transit stations across the country.
While the post was written three weeks ago, it resurfaced on Saturday afternoon, around the same time ISIS released a video of the beheading of British aid worker David Haines on the same Web forum, the report added.
