The Islamic State has released its first audio message in months, harshly criticizing Syria's interim president and calling him a Western puppet. The terrorist group is urging followers worldwide to launch new attacks on Jewish and Western targets.

The extremist group’s spokesman, identifying himself as Abu Musab al-Furati, delivered the harsh criticism in an audio recording distributed Saturday evening. During the message, he encouraged ISIS supporters across the globe to launch strikes against Jewish and Western locations, echoing previous calls for violence.

Al-Furati conveyed messages from the organization’s current leader, Abu Hafs al-Hashemi al-Qurayshi, who assumed control of the group three years ago, to ISIS operatives worldwide.
