Daesh terror group has called for attacks targeting Miss Universe beauty pageant in Philippines in January 2017.

According to private NTV broadcaster's website, the Philippines-based Daesh affiliated group sent messages on Telegram, calling for an attack on Miss Universe who will be wearing the crown after the competition.

On January 30, the competitors from participating countries will be on the state to take over the crown from last year's winner Pia Wurzbach, who is from Philippines.
