IFP - A propaganda cell of ISIS terrorist group has released a doctored image of Argentina and Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi, where he is seen crying blood, in a fresh threat to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.





The poster was released by a pro-ISIS media group called Wafa Media Foundation. It was discovered by the think tank SITE Intelligence Group, which tweeted the poster on Tuesday.

�You are fighting a state that does not have failure in its dictionary,� reads a message on the poster accompanying an image on Messi crying blood behind bars.

The poster also mocks Nike�s �Just do it� catchphrase by replacing the words with �Just Terrorism� below the Messi image.

Threats to next summer�s World Cup in Russia have previously been made by propaganda groups affiliated to the terror outfit.

ISIS had previously claimed responsibility for setting off a bomb outside the Stade de France on the night of the Paris terror attacks. France were hosting Germany in a friendly at the time of the blast.

The terror group had also threatened to disrupt the 2016 European Championships as well as the 2017 Women�s European Championships. Both tournaments, however, were safely conducted under heavy security cover.
