Isis has threatened to attack Christmas markets in a sick message to followers ahead of the festive season.

The caption, which is written in English, French and German, reads: ‘Soon on your holidays.’
It is feared the image, obtained by The Epoch Times, is a call to action for followers of the terror group to carry out an Isis-inspired attack in Europe.
The disturbing image, which echoes previous Isis propaganda of using western values in pictures, was posted in a group chat of terrorists.
It was posted by a user known only as Dr Almani, and could refer to a now-banned Twitter account that used the name.
Intelligence company BlackOps Cyber obtained the sick image.
