ISIS has declared war on the French far-right party National Front naming them their 'prime target' in an attack on France.

The Islamist terrorist organisation said it was not a question of 'if' they would attack France, but 'how and when'.

The threats against France and National Front were made in the latest issue of ISIS's French-language propaganda magazine: Dar al-Islam

Dar al-Islam is a French-language magazine produced by ISIS, designed to encourage more people to travel to areas controlled by the terrorists in Syra and Iraq. 

The latest issue of the magazine includes a picture of a National Front demonstration naming the party and its supporters ISIS's 'prime targets.  

'The question isn't whether France will get attacked again, it's how they will be attacked and when,' the magazine said, The Local reports.

The threat was picket up by French Islamist expert Romain Caillet, who tweeted: 'For the first time, National Front demonstrations are presented as targets in an official document from ISIS.' 

National Front is a far-right party which has grown in popularity in recent years under the leadership of Marine Le Pen, who took over from her father, party founder Jean-Marie, in 2011.

However, her popularity may be about to take a hit as she is being questioned by fraud officials over the alleged embezzlement of millions of euros by National Front party.

Le Pen, 47, was reportedly questioned for several hours last week, after twice previously having refused to appear before judges investigating the party's finances.

The National Front and several of the party's high-ranking members have been charged with misuse of company assets and conspiracy to commit fraud over the financing of parliamentary and presidential elections in 2012.

Le Pen, who is aiming to run in the 2017 presidential election, is also under investigation for tweeting graphic images of Islamic State atrocities, including the beheading of US reporter James Foley.

She has also been locked in a vicious feud with her father, who was booted out of the party earlier this year after rehashing familiar comments about Nazi gas chambers being a 'detail' of history and saying France should improve ties with Russia to save the 'white world'.
