A seventeen minutes video
claims to include the last statements of nine of the jihadis who took part in
the 13 November 2015 attacks that killed one-hundred-thirty people.
"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 says.
It was uploaded to the
group's online channel and shows some of the militants wearing camouflage
clothes in a desert location.
One of them appears to be
Bilal Hadfi, who became known as the "baby-faced terrorist".
He blew himself up outside
the Stade de France during the Paris attacks.
"You destroy our homes
and kill our fathers, our brothers, our sisters, our mothers, our
children," he says.
Samy Amimour, who was
raised in a Paris suburb near the French national stadium, says "soon on
the Champs-Elysees" as he holds up a captive's head.
Salah Abdeslam, who fled
Paris on the night of the attacks and remains at large, is not in the footage,
but his brother Brahim, who blew himself up at a cafe, is shown at a makeshift
shooting range.
The video also appears to
show Abu Qital al Faransi - the gunman blew himself up after he opened fire in
the Bataclan theatre.
The attackers are all
identified in the video by noms de guerre, referring to their nationalities:
three French, four Belgian and two Iraqis, referred to as Ali al Iraqi and
Ukashah al Iraqi.
The militants speak French
and Arabic and threaten "coalition" countries, including Britain.
The video includes a
picture of Prime Minister David Cameron accompanied by the words in English:
"Whoever stands in the ranks of kufr (unbelievers) will be a target for
our swords."
