Blitzkrieg,” the document states. “Cause as much death and destruction to the system and the invaders as efficiently and quickly as possible with a diverse selection of targets.”The manifesto outlines plans to attack at least three locations and lists goals including maximizing casualties, spreading their ideology and dying during the attacks.
