Jihadist-monitoring group links Paris knife attack to ISIS video

- From staff and wire reports

The Islamic State’s Amaq news agency has released a video that a jihadist-monitoring group says appears to show the suspect in Saturday night’s knife attack in Paris, pledging allegiance to the group’s leader

Speaking in French, a man calls on European Muslims to attack in their home countries if they are unable to emigrate to the caliphate. The video is undated, but a steady rain falls behind the man, as it did Saturday in Paris.

The SITE Intelligen­ce Group said the Paris attacker is the person in the video Amaq released Sunday. Chechnya’s president identified him Sunday as Khamzat Azimov.
