In the latest edition of its English-language magazine, Dabiq, the Islamic State (IS) has urged its followers to carry out "lone wolf" attacks against countries that are supporting the campaign aiming to destroy the group in Iraq and Syria, especially the United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia and Germany.

The magazine directed its sympathizers to attack citizens of "crusader nations" wherever they can be found and added that at this point, it is important that attacks take place in every country that is supporting the campaign. It also advised would-be terrorists to keep their plots simple, reported News.com.au.

The group has named the publication after a town in northern Syria, flagged as the location of "Armageddon," the last battle between good and evil before the Judgment Day.
