ISIL video uses Donald Trump comments to fan flames after Brussels attacks Recruitment tool urges ‘brothers’ to ‘Rise up! Claim your victory!’ with a backdrop of footage from Tuesday’s attacks.

A new Islamic State video uses the Brussels terrorist attacks as a recruitment and propaganda tool, complete with audio taken from an interview with Donald Trump in which the tycoon calls the Belgian capital "a horror show."

Trump's voice is used over footage of emergency workers and video from a Fox News interview in which the Republican presidential hopeful echoed his earlier comments about the problems facing Belgium.

"Brussels was one of the great cities," Trump says in the ISIL video, with images of roaring flames in front of his image. "One of the most beautiful cities of the world 20 years ago; it was amazing actually. And safe. And now it's a horror show; it's an absolute horror show."

The video starts off with a newscaster's voice: "Just four months after the last one, another series of attacks on a European capital," followed by another voice saying: "That is the problem inherent in attacks like this. You can talk about increasing security, but there is a limit to how far you wanna go."

The 9-minute video alternately carries the watermark of a waving Islamic State flag and the logo of Al-Battar, described by SITE Intelligence group as "the leading pro-Islamic State (IS) jihadi media group."

Within minutes of being uploaded, YouTube removed the video and banned the user who added it. The company has a policy of banning pro-ISIL recruitment videos.

In a previous statement, a spokesperson said "YouTube has clear policies that prohibit content like gratuitous violence, hate speech and incitement to commit violent acts, and we remove videos violating these policies when flagged by our users. We also terminate any account registered by a member of a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization and used in an official capacity to further its interests."

With high production values, the video features English subtitles, musical accompaniment and a song of sorts, with the lyrics: "Brothers rise up! Claim your victory! Let's go, let's go, let's go for jihad."

Later in the video, more footage from Brussels is used: panic inside the airport terminal as passengers run for safety, and ambulances and police racing down the streets.
