The Islamic State has released a chilling new video showing its apocalyptic vision of a final showdown with the West, which includes jihadists advancing toward the Colosseum in Rome.

The disturbing footage, named 'Meeting at Dabiq', is focused on the notion of a deadly battle for world domination, in which ISIS 'believers' will fight western 'crusaders' in the Italian capital.

Filmed in Iraq, it depicts the terror group's shock troops and gunners charging out of armoured personnel carriers, before opening fire on practice targets, such as a special forces unit.

It also features a bizarre scene showing a militant trying to look dignified on horseback, and clips of jihadists exchanging hugs as they depart on suicide missions, according to the Daily Mirror.

As they embrace, a caption on the screen reads: 'Goodbye to the companions.'

At one point in the footage, 60 national flags are shown. They apparently represent the countries ISIS claims to be at war with, including Britain, France, Australia, the U.S., and many others.

The male narrator describes how militants will destroy the 'crusader' sites.

'This is your last crusade, the next time it is us who will take the battle on your own land,' he says.

As well as the famous amphitheatre, St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City also features in the footage.

Terrifying: The narrator describes how militants will destroy the 'crusader' sites. 'This is your last crusade, the next time it is us who will take the battle on your own land!,' he says over the clips of the Italian capital

Other scenes show jihadists kissing the foreheads of their dead comrades, praying on the sand, shooting guns and carrying ISIS's black-and-white flag as they travel on foot and in their vehicles.

Some of them are seen comfortably sporting suicide vests, as if they are wearing normal jackets.

The militants are also captured carrying out training exercises (including one that sees them practice how to slit an enemy's throat), firing grenades at practice targets, and even preparing food.

In relation to the name given to the video, 'Dabiq' refers to the location where ISIS believes it will eventually face its enemies in a showdown, after which the apocalypse will reportedly begin.

The release of the footage comes as the West has intensified efforts to bomb the terror group in Syria and Iraq following the Paris massacre, in which 130 people were killed in various locations.

It also follows the release of a new ISIS execution video, which shows two prisoners being murdered by underground bombs, with the jihadists triggering the charges through a mobile phone detonator.

Captured in Syria, the shocking footage depicts the moment a masked jihadist pulls out his mobile phone, before pressing a single button on the device to detonate the concealed explosives.

A third captive was forced to watch the horrific ordeal, which allegedly took place in Damascus.

The two victims were members of the rebel group Sham al-Rasoul Brigade, which has been fighting against the brutal jihadist group in Syria.

Much of ISIS's considerable wealth stems from its booming trade in oil, helping it to generate more than £325 million ($500 million), according to one US treasury official.

The 'primary customer' of ISIS's considerable oil exports is Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Adam Szubin told the BBC.
