The Islamic State militant group started using a magazine to urge terrorists to carry out suicide attacks on Australians and citizens of other coalition forces fighting against the militant group.

According to Australian news reports, the latest edition of Dabiq, an English-language magazine used by ISIS, encouraged its followers to carry out "lone wolf" attacks against "infidels."

The magazine, which was named after a Syrian town that is labeled as the site of "Armageddon," told its supporters to to keep their plots simple.

Dabiq says forces fighting the ISIS should be attacked, especially Australia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Earlier, a chain of suicide bombings shook Iraq, as the U. S.-led coalition troops increase their attacks in the embattled country.

Meanwhile, three suicide attacks rocked the Syrian city of Kobani as three Islamic State fighters blew themselves up, as the militant group advanced in the besieged city.

In one of the attacks, a jihadist fighter detonated an explosive-filled truck, injuring two Kurdish fighters, Kurdish sources said.

The suicide attack took place in the northern part of Kobani, which was the site of heavy clashes between Kurdish fighters and the militant group.

The monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said on Monday, Kobani has seen more heavy fighting. The U.S.-led coalition air attacks have failed to stop the jihadidts' advance in the city.

Another suicide attack was aimed at a bus station in a northern town in Kobani, which is now reported to be a stronghold of the militants, according to the monitor group member, Rami Abderahman.

"The group has now advanced further in the town," he said.

The Islamic State militants are fighting to control the city of Kobani to dominate over a large swathe of land in the Syrian-Turkish border.
