Fears have emerged that the terror attacks in Kuwait, France and Tunisia may have been part of ISIS's plans to mark the holy month of Ramadan with an unprecedented spate of violence 'against the non-believers'.

The UN Security Council issued the attacks in 'the strongest of terms' but it remains likely that these trio of attacks may not be the last incidents of carnage during the holy month of Ramadan.

One year after ISIS announced its self-proclaimed caliphate, experts are already suggesting that the attacks, although geographically spread out, may have been linked as part of co-ordinated spate of violence.

'There is a very real possibility that they are part of a broader strategic campaign by isis consisting of broad guidance issued to supporters and sympathizers who then conduct lone wolf attacks,' said Chris Harmer from the Institute for the Study of War.

'I wouldn't rule it out, but it would be quite a significant thing if it was,' said Dr Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, a lecturer in the war studies department at King's College London.

'For co-ordinated attacks to take place in the Middle East and Europe, that would be a pretty big development, difficult though not impossible to do.'

At this stage Islamic State (IS) has only claimed only the attack in Kuwait and Dr Hitchens asked: 'If they have carried out all the attacks, why are they not claiming responsibility for them all?'

He pointed out that jihadis tend to become more active during Ramadan. Just days ago IS militants urged their followers 'to make Ramadan a month of calamities for the nonbelievers'.

He said: 'Attacks like this have been been happening all the time. If this had happened over the space of a week, there would be less attention paid to it than there has been now when it has happened on the same day.

'Tunisia had the museum attack in March, there have been bomb attacks on Shiite mosques in Saudi Arabia - these are normal patterns, normal targets, it's just striking it's happened same day, same time, but the fact the attacks are happening is not a big surprise.'

For the Tunisian government, this is the second major terror attack in the country after 22 people were gunned down at the Bardo museum three months ago.

Concerns will be raised about the safety of the country's tourist spots. The country has only recovered its tourism industry in the last couple of years after the Arab Spring in 2011.

Fawaz Gerges, Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics, said he did not think the attacks were co-ordinated - but they were motivated by the same way of thinking

Likewise, the shocking beheading in Grenoble has left many people fearing about France's capability in dealing with issues over the so-called 'Islamification' of the country.

The French government's handling of the twin attacks on the Charlie Hebdo office and the Kosher supermarket was called into question after it emerged the terrorists had been known to security services.

Both the attacks in France and Tunisia may have been connected with the appalling suicide bomb attack in the small oil-rich country of Kuwait.

Fawaz Gerges, Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics, said he did not think the attacks were co-ordinated - but they were motivated by the same way of thinking.

He said: 'What we are talking about is a travelling ideology, a spreading ideology, and though there are no causal links between the attacks, the ideology is one and the same. You could call it salafi-jihadism - ultra-conservative, and trans-national.

'In France there was inspiration and motivation, where you get lone wolves motivated by this ideology. In Tunisia there are organised networks that have a strategic plan, to paralyse the economy, to bleed it dry - tourism is so important to it. And in Kuwait there was an attack on a Shiite mosque, this is vintage IS, which has a genocidal ideology against the Shia.'

Prof Gerges added: 'Recently we have seen the call for intensification of attacks in Ramadan, and also IS has been focusing more and more on Muslims carrying out individual jihad, as opposed to collective jihad - this is now as important as the networks.'

Steven Emerson, Executive Director of The Investigative Project on Terrorism, said: 'Ramadan has almost always seen a rise of terrorist attacks since the government began tracking international terrorists attacks in the detailed statistical manner since 9-11. So the fact that ISIS has joined in this pattern of attacks does not make these attacks unique.'

'What makes these attacks unique is the simultaneity of the attacks on three continents and the total lack of any advance 'chatter' by western intelligence that anything was developing. ISIS strategy is not only to expand the territory under its control but to expand its reach to every continent to leverage its ability to intimidate the world .

Afzal Ashraf, a consultant fellow at defence and security think tank the Royal United Services Institute, said the attacks may be linked to next Monday's anniversary of the declaration of an IS caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
