ISIS fanatics threaten attacks on Spanish tourist towns in revenge for the death of British ‘punk rock jihadi’ Sally Jones
The 33-minute video shows clips of potential targets including the European tourist cities of Barcelona and Madrid
ISIS-supporting extremists have threatened to launch attacks on Spanish tourist towns in revenge for the death of British ISIS recruiter Sally Jones.
The terrifying threats surfaced earlier this month in a 33-minute pro-Islamic State video was uncovered by the Middle East research group MEMRI.
The video was found on file-sharing platform Telegram and released by ISIS propaganda outlet Muntasir Media.
The film, entitled Behind the Mask, purports to "reveal the real face of the west", screengrabs from the video claim.
ATTACKS ON TOURIST TOWNS
The final three minutes of the clip allege to threaten attacks in the Spanish metropolis' of Barcelona or Madrid.
Such attacks would be similar to those perpetrated in Paris in November of 2015 and are said to be in revenge of the death of ISIS recruiter Sally Jones.
The images also include potential targets such as New York City's Grand Central Station and a montage of French President Macron being beheaded.
Bataclan will not be the last. Barcelona or Madrid can be the next."

Captions under these clips - witnessed by MEMRI and provided to the The Sun Online - read: "Bataclan will not be the last. Barcelona or Madrid can be the next.
"Islam will dominate. Operation Op-Kuffar, Paris to Barcelona – Just Terror."
The video goes on to claim these attack would be in revenge for Jones' death.
One caption reads: "We don't stay silent. We will take revenge for Umm Hussein Al-Britani, and their family."
Behind the Mask is a re-edit of another jihadi video "documentary" released in 2017 by Al-Muhajirun, a foreign fighters' media group in Syria.
In that video, the "decadence of the West" is portrayed and viewers are encouraged to emigrate and flee the lands of "unbelief".
Testimony of German jihadi operative, Andreas Mueller, also known as Abd Al-Salam Al-Mujahir Al-Almani, is also included.
Mueller describes his conversion to Islam and how he joined the jihad.
REVENGE FOR THE WHITE WIDOW
Similarly, Sally Jones left England for Syria to marry Junaid Hussain where she became a leading recruitment officer for ISIS.
The mother-of-two took her son to war-torn Raqqa in late 3013 and adopted the new name Umma Hussain al Britani.
She is believed to have enticed scores of would-be European jihadis to join the self-declared caliphate through her influential recruitment network called the "Raqqa 12".
Jones was widely reported to have been killed by a drone while fleeing the carnage in Raqqa and heading toward the Syrian border town of Mayadin in 2017.
We don't stay silent. We will take revenge for Umm Hussein Al-Britani [Sally Jones], and their family."
Behind The Mask
The CIA and MI6 officers had spent months trying to track her down.
Jones' ISIS kingpin husband was also killed by a drone in 2015, giving her the nickname The White Widow.
The couple were accused of plotting ISIS terror attacks across three continents.
They had also been linked to a plot to blow up the Queen and Prince Philip on the streets of London during VJ celebrations.
Muntasir Media has added an additional three minutes to the original video, with edited archival material from ISIS videos as well as Western media footage from the ISIS campaign of terror in the West.
One clip urges supporters to, "Kill [unbelievers] wherever you find them."
Underpinning the new material an Islamic religious chant titled My Vengeance can be heard.
The soundtrack vindicates and praises the ISIS November 2015 Paris attacks and the March 2016 Brussels attacks.
An Arabic text reads: "Our group will be victorious, Allah willing, while your groups dwindle and decline."
Who was Sally Jones?
SALLY Jones left her Chatham council house for the killing fields of Syria to be a jihadi bride — taking eight-year-old Jojo with her but leaving behind an older son.
Once in Raqqa, the former punk singer wed Junaid Hussain, who she had met online, and took the name Umm Hussein al-Britani.
Back home her distraught family watched as she posted antiSemitic hate messages under a photograph of herself wearing a niqab and waving an AK-47.
In one propaganda post, she posed as a nun with a gun and spoke of her wish to behead Christians with a “nice blunt knife.”
Hussain was killed by a US army drone in Raqqa in 2015 — and Jones became known as the White Widow.
She also became a prolific recruiter for IS and her name was put on a US kill list.
But it did not stop her trying to encourage terror attacks in the West. In one 2016 post she sent a message saying: “Have a nice summer. I wouldn’t go into central London through June or July. Well, to be honest, I wouldn’t go there at all by Tube.”
Her last appearance on social media was in September 2016.
She said: “I’ll never marry again. I’ll remain loyal to my husband until my last breath.”
