The Daesh Takfiri terrorist group has published a new kill list, urging its sympathizers around the world to kill thousands of people including British nationals.

The terror group’s alleged cyber warfare wing published the full names and home addresses of nearly 8,000 “targets” on Wednesday.

The list includes the names of 39 Britons, as well as 7,848 Americans, 312 Canadians and 69 Australians whom the group wants murdered.

It was not clear why the terror group wanted the people on the list killed. Whether the information is entirely new or already available online also remains a question.

The terror group’s cyber outfit claimed in early May that it is using a mole it claims it has in the UK Ministry of Defense to infiltrate into Britain and the US.

"In our next leak we may even disclose secret intelligence the ISIL has just received from a source the brothers in the UK have spent some time acquiring from the Ministry of Defense in London as we slowly and secretly infiltrate England and the USA online and off,” the hacker group wrote.

The ministry declined to enlarge on what personnel security measures it is taking for its staff.

“While we don’t comment on cyber threats, Britain is a world leader in cyber security and we are investing more than ever before in the UK’s capabilities to protect our national interest,” said a ministry spokesman. “Our increasing defense budget means that we can stay ahead of our adversaries in cyberspace while also investing in conventional capabilities.”

According to British authorities, at least 800 UK nationals have traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the Takfiri terror groups operating there and might come back to wreak havoc in their own country.

Daesh affiliated hackers have consistently posted similar “kill lists” over the recent months, specially targeting American officials and military forces.

Another target list released by the group in May included names, photographs and other biographical details of the people it claimed were US Air Force staff members involved in drone operations.
