The so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant terrorist group claimed on Tuesday its first attack on US soil

The so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant terrorist group claimed on Tuesday its first attack on US soil, a shooting at an anti-Muslim event in Texas over the weekend showcasing cartoons ‘mocking’ the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh).
  
"Two of the soldiers of the caliphate executed an attack on an art exhibit in Garland, Texas, and this exhibit was portraying negative pictures of the Prophet Mohammed," the terrorist group said.
  
"We tell America that what is coming will be even bigger and more bitter, and that you will see the soldiers of the Islamic State do terrible things," the terrorist group announced. It was the first time ISIL claimed to have carried out an attack in the US.
  
Police said two men drove up to the conference center Sunday in Garland, Texas, where the right-wing ‘American Freedom Defense Initiative’ was organizing the controversial cartoon contest, and began shooting at a security guard.
  
Garland police officers then shot and killed both men.

According to US media reports, the two suspected militants were Elton Simpson, 31, and Nadir Soofi, 34, who shared an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona.
