The terror group sought to bolster its claim of responsibility for an attack which killed four Western tourists including two Americans on Sunday.
But the Tajik government has accused a banned Islamist opposition party of being behind the attack.
The Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan (IRPT) party’s exiled leaders denied any link to the attack and said the authorities were using the incident for political purposes.

On Tuesday, an ISIS outlet published a video of five men pledging allegiance to its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The men, who speak Russian, sit under a black Islamic State flag and refer to each other by Arab names.

This is the moment four Western tourists were killed in a car-ramming and knife attack while on a cycling holiday in Tajikistan
Some of them appear similar to the suspects whose photographs have been published by Tajikistan’s interior ministry.
The cyclists were killed on Sunday when a car ploughed into them on a rural road.
After the crash, the attackers also stabbed their victims, Tajikistan’s interior minister and the US embassy said on Monday.
The victims, two Americans, a Swiss and Dutch citizen, were struck by a car while on a popular cycle route in the Danghara district, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of the capital Dushanbe.
Another cyclist with the group, a French citizen, escaped without injury and had been questioned by police, he added.
The Dutch foreign ministry said one of the dead tourists was a 56-year-old man who was cycling the route with his 58-year-old partner, without providing names.

A Belgian cyclist who said he arrived at the scene after the attack told Flemish broadcaster VRT that he saw ‘several cyclists on the ground. Some were completely shocked’.
‘When I asked what had happened, the first thing someone said was that they had been hit by a car and that the people who had come out had started stabbing them with knives,’ cyclist Nicolas Moerman said.
It was the first known attack of its kind against Western tourists in Tajikistan, a remote ex-Soviet state located north of Afghanistan in towering mountains where Islamists fought an insurgency against a Moscow-backed government in the 1990s.
A purported video of the attack received from an anonymous source and published by Radio Free Europe showed a car doing a U-turn after knocking down the cyclists and driving over several people on a narrow road in broad daylight.

The attack on Sunday left tourists from the United States, Switzerland and the Netherlands dead and two others injured, the interior ministry said
Islamic State, which once controlled large parts of Syria and Iraq, is known to have had some presence in Persian-speaking Tajikistan: a former Tajik elite police force commander defected to the group in 2015.
Security forces killed four suspected attackers on Monday and detained one.
Among the dead suspects was 21-year-old Jafariddin Yusufov, the owner of the Daewoo Leganza car that struck the tourists on Sunday afternoon, local officials said.
‘(The suspects) had knives and firearms,’ said interior minister Ramazon Hamro Rahimzoda, adding that two other cyclists, Swiss and Dutch nationals, were injured and hospitalised.
‘One tourist received a knife wound and is being given medical assistance. The victim’s condition is stable,’ said Rahimzoda, without mentioning a nationality.
In a statement on Tuesday, the interior ministry said it had detained four more suspects and blamed the IRPT for the attack.
Citing what it said was the confession of a detained suspect, the ministry said the attackers’ leader had been trained in Iran and the group planned to flee to Afghanistan after the attack.
Jafariddin Yusufov, a suspect in the case and the owner of the Daewoo Leganza that struck the tourists, was killed
‘We completely deny the illogical allegation by the interior ministry and condemn this terrorist act,’ IRPT leader-in-exile Muhiddin Kabiri told Reuters.
‘This (statement) draws the attention away from the real criminals.’
The Dushanbe government banned the IRPT in 2015, accusing it of plotting a failed coup.
Party leaders now in exile have denied those charges and said the move against them aimed to consolidate the grip of President Imomali Rakhmon, in power since 1992, the second longest-serving leader of an ex-Soviet state.
Kabiri said he was surprised that the government had ignored the claim made by Islamic State.

Party leaders who now live in exile have denied the charges and said the move against them aimed to consolidate President Imomali Rakhmon’s grip on power.
Earlier on Tuesday, IRPT expressed condolences to the families and nations of the victims and said it hoped the investigation would ‘not only refute rumours and assumptions’, but also help Tajikistan regain trust in the eyes of foreigners.
Three of those originally on the wanted list and then reported killed included Asomiddin Madzhidov (pictured)
Zafarjon Safarov (pictured) was also among the list of suspects who was killed

That’s right! How can anybody be so stupid to go on vacation in a muslim country nowadays? Can you remember the french girl of 17 who was shot to death, a few years ago, by an egyptian jihadist only for being a white christian girl walking in the streets of Cairo as a tourist?

WHY OH WHY would ANY AMERICAN go to a MUSLIM COUNTRY as a “tourist”?
“US State Department release and Pew research group, the population of Tajikistan is 98% Muslim. ”
Approximately 87%–95% of them are Sunni and roughly
3% are Shia and roughly
7% are non-denominational Muslims.
The remaining 2% of the population are followers of Russian Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism.

Why, why, why would anyone go to a muslim country. I’ll tell you why, because they’ve been brainwashed in public schools that Islam is a religion of peace and all the Jihad is America’s fault and if you just agree with them they’ll be your friend. I don’t blame ISIS, I blame the liberals.

Mental illness from islam is NOT an excuse. it is a reason only

Islam is mental illness. Paranoid schizophrenia to be exact. But mental illness is irrelevant. We are all conceived with normal consciences. What happens after conception lifelong determines how much brain damage we get, reducing our executive brain functions but at no time are we unaware that we are doing or want to do or have done is right or wrong. We determined that psychopaths know better but do it anyway. The legal system needs to end their rules to deal with certain mental illnesses differently. Literally no one is not fully accountable for their own actions. IQ is not genetic. Africans in Africa have an average IQ of 70 but in the US, 85. This is nothing to do with evolution nor genetics. It’s 100% emotional and social wiring which has been imposed on a normal brain until it is physically altered due to the natural hormones that occur when a human being experiences trauma, fear, anger, rage, and stress hormones, It is also vulnerable to damage from pathogen exposures, malnutrition, sleep deprivation, chemical and physical brain damage by exposure to toxins including poisons, alcohol, lead, mercury, etc, or head traumas. Even smacking your children a little bit causes brain damage. Our genetics affect us somewhat with different kinds of toxin management, metabolic, and immune systems. How quickly you eliminate toxins, repair brain damage from traumas, sleep deprivation, drug or alcohol use, or how well your immune system fights off infections all determine how much, if any, of your life experiences will result in changing your brain structure. Of course, the greatest damage is done by stress, fear, and anger hormones. The more often we feel those things, the more paranoid schizophrenic, and therefore dangerous you become. This condition increases the libido several-fold as the motor skills area of the brain receive a lot more blood flow. Thus physicality is also enhanced and the violence comes from how these hormones also reduce blood flow to the frontal lobe as blood vessels constrict in that area when we are in fight or flight situations, reducing the processing of emotions, cognition, language, and executive brain function. But their conscience is still there. They just ignore it. They know what they doing is wrong. They just could care less.

Just how stupid can you get. Tajikistan is a dangerous region, bandits, islamists, corruption, warlords, you name it.
And then a tour on bicycles. Possibly with those ridiculously tight and colourful outfits cyclists tend to wear. Ewuipped with a lot of vauables and cash.
As for the yanks – who cares.

Patrick this was a jihad attack plain and simple. What these poor men wore or whether they had cash or not was not the issue for the minions of Satan. All that matters to these psychopaths is a high death toll to appease some psycho female hating pagan moon god, known to all humanity as Satan.
