A new video attributed to the Islamic State is warning of a Paris-style attack on Washington.
This is just US President Barack Obama yesterday ruled out putting troops on the ground to combat the Islamic State group saying  “would be a mistake.”
“We are going to continue the strategy that has the best chance of working,” Obama told a news conference.
The video, appearing on social media yesterday, threatened all countries involved in operations against the militant group, saying they will suffer the same fate as France.
The person speaking in the video specifically singled out the US capital city.
“To all the countries that participated in the crusader campaign in a day soon or later, they all will face a day just like what France faced,” the person in the video said.
VOA cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video. There has been no comment from US officials.
