The Berlin Christmas market attacker killed Friday in a police shootout in Italy had pledged his allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and called for Islamic State supporters to take revenge of "crusaders" bombing Muslims, a video posted on Amaq news agency showed.
"My message to crusaders bombing Muslims everyday... Their blood will not go in vain. We are a nation behind them and will take revenge for them," Anis Amri said.
"I call on my Muslim brothers everywhere... Those in Europe, kill the crusader pigs, each person to their own ability."
