The message also contains lines borrowed from Arabic jihadi song, which translates as, “when war comes with a melody of bullets, we descend on belief, desiring retaliation.”

School’s authorities were already criticized for their insufficient security protocol arrangements for Prince George because a woman living in a nearby area, filmed herself roaming freely in the corridors of the schools, just four days before its start.
