The appeal demanded gunmen-led attacks in London, Madrid and Sydney
It advises would-be attackers to blow themselves up rather than face arrest and to avoid phone conversations to prevent security services listening in.
The lone wolf message, posted on Monday and taken down a few days later, came as IS looks to step up its operations in Syria and Iraq. Tweets in Arabic reveal it is offering top Al Qaeda fighters millions of pounds and mansions to switch allegiance.
Last night Haras Rafiq, managing director of anti-radicalisation organisation the Quilliam Foundation, said: “The calls for an attack in Britain and the West have to be taken with utmost seriousness.
“The message is from the Al-Khilafah Media Foundation, the media arm of IS. There are thought to be 600 British fighters among IS ranks in Iraq and Syria and most likely hundreds more supporters in this country.”
In its appeal to fanatics all over the West, IS justifies a lone wolf attack as revenge for military intervention in the Middle East.
It calls for bombs to be planted in San Francisco and Belgium and for shooting sprees in London, Madrid and Sydney by gunmen using silencers.
The group also speaks of poison gas attacks at railway stations in Russia, Boston, Dallas and Amsterdam.
