CBS News<\/a> reports The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for an attack in Tajikistan that left four cycle tourists, including two Americans, dead over the weekend. The terror group released a video purportedly showing the five men who carried out the attack, pledging allegiance to its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.<\/p>\n

A Daewoo sedan plowed into the group of seven foreign bicyclists about 60 miles south of the Tajik capital, Dushanbe, on Sunday, according to local police. The people in the vehicle then “exited the car and stabbed the cyclists with knives,” the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n

Four of the cyclists died and three others, including a woman from Switzerland, were injured, Tajik officials said.<\/p>\n

Two of the victims were American, one was Swiss, and another was from the Netherlands, both foreign and Tajik officials said. Tajik President Emomali Rahmon sent the leaders of each country a telegram expressing condolences Monday.<\/p>\n

United States Charge dAffaires in Tajikistan, Kevin Covert, met people at the American embassy in Dushanbe who came to pay their tributes to the victims of the attack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of all the places in the world, they pick Tajikistan for a cycling vacation. If they wanted a thrill seeker adventure vacation, should have visited Chicago or Baltimore. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
