The video also made reference to the latest conflict between Israelis and Palestinians and to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"For 10 days the world has watched as Muslims in the Gaza Strip have been massacred," the men in the video reportedly say. "Where is the US? Where is Mrs. Merkel and her cabinet?"

There is no mention of what targets the Islamic Jihad Union has in mind.
