Possible Islamic State Leaflets Found in Quantico Marine Base

Leaflets found at the site of the Marine Corps headquarters in Quantico, Virginia, Wednesday may have ties to the international terrorist organization ISIS, a source told the Tatler today. The leaflets, which portray the flag of the Islamic State, include a message in Arabic that says “We came from Mexico on a train.”

The leaflets raise the questions of whether the Islamic State has operatives in the heart of the United State’s Marine Corps headquarters, or alternatively, whether someone is testing security responses and military command communications.

Check out # 15 and # 16.

Thanks for the ping.

“The fact that the flag is inverted may suggest that either the person who dropped the leaflets is a poser not connected with ISIS at all — but who may sympathize with the terrorist group and could intend to launch some kind of “lone wolf” attack — or the leaflet was dropped to test security, communications and analysis responses.”

The flag is not only inverted (upside down,) it’s also a mirror image. This suggests that the person(s) who printed and/or distributed the leaflets doesn’t read or understand a word of Arabic. Most likely, a new convert who is trying to carry favor with ISIS.

OTOH, the whole thing could be a scarecrow, so to speak. If it isn’t and the guy is caught, he should have an “unfortunate” accident or get “suicided.”
