The latest edition of the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham propaganda magazine Dabiq, released Friday, described the killings by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau and Martin Couture-Rouleau, as well as similar attacks in Australia and New York.

It attributed all four incidents to an audio speech released a month earlier in which ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammad Al-Adnani incited supporters to kill Canadians, Americans, Australians and other members of the alliance.

“The significance of these attacks and others is enormous and cannot be underestimated,” the magazine said. “By calling on Muslims around the world to rise up in arms, the sheikh launched attacks in Canada, America and Australian … without nothing more than words and a shared belief in the act of worship that is jihad.”
