A video published by the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant (ISIL) group's media centre has
purported to show images and last statements
of nine people who took part in the Paris
attacks that killed 130 people.
It was not possible to independently verify the
authenticity of the footage, which showed the
men delivering anti-Western diatribes and
concluded with an apparent threat to attack
Britain.
Laith Alkhouri, of Flashpoint Global Partners,
which monitors the group's social media, said
the "video meets all the right criteria of an
authentic and official [ISIL] release".
The video was uploaded to ISIL's official
Telegram channel and showed some of the
attackers wearing camouflage fatigues in a
desert location before the time of the Paris
attacks.
Several of them were shown beheading
hostages of the ultra-hardline group, a tactic it
has frequently used.
"These are the last messages of the nine lions
of the caliphate who were mobilised from their
lairs to make a whole country, France, get down
on its knees," a narrator in the video said.
