Federal agents are stepping up their investigation
of Islamic State's claims that it's responsible for Sunday's attack on
the Mohammed cartoon competition in Garland, Texas.
The assault was carried out by Phoenix roommates Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi.
"Two soldiers … of the caliphate attacked an exhibit
in Garland in American Texas, and this exhibit was holding a contest
for drawings offensive to the prophet Muhammad," the jihadist group said
on its al-Bayan radio station, according to the SITE Intelligence
Group.
The group is now warning "the attack by the Islamic State in America is only the beginning..."
The message goes on to say ISIS has stationed "71
trained soldiers in 15 different states ready at our word to attack any
target we desire. Of the 15 states, five we will name: Virginia,
Maryland, Illinois, California, and Michigan."
