An Islamic State (IS) militant has reportedly said in a video that IS would soon launch attacks in New York City any day and that the group is mobilizing at the moment.

A militant named Farah Shirdon said addressing the United States President Barack Obama that he hoped Obama listened to the message.

According to the Washington Times, Shirdon claimed that the group would fight until the end.

Shirdon is a Canadian citizen who had gone to Iraq to fight with the IS militants.

He also said that the fighters might stop inflicting violence if Israeli Prime Minister is 'crucified for his war crimes'.
