ISIS has released a video reportedly with the Ansbach, Germany bomber declaring allegiance to ISIS and threatening more attacks from the Islamic State.
Here’s the video [update – the Youtube version was taken down so we replaced it]”
Mid East reporter Jenan Moussa offers a translation:

After watching #Ansbach attacker vid, I get feeling he didn't write that script. He makes mistakes in pronunciation. Some1 wrote it for him.

#Ansbach attacker mentioning complex religious jargon like term 'walaa wal baraa' but he doesnt sound like he understand what he's saying.

So if this IS authentic, then it sounds like Germany is going to face more attacks. It should be noted that Spain pulled out of the coalition attacking terrorists after it was hit with a terror attack, and I don’t think it’s been hit since. But I doubt ISIS would stop attacking if every country did the same…
