The attacks came around the same time on Friday but the level of coordination is not yet clear but it comes just days after the Islamic State called for a torrent of attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

“Muslims, embark and hasten toward jihad,” Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, an Islamic State spokesman, said earlier this week. “O mujahedeen everywhere, rush and go to make Ramadan a month of disasters for the infidels.”
