UPDATE: 3:05 p.m. EST -- The FBI Saturday said in a statement it is aware of an alleged threat by the Islamic State group to stage an attack on a WWE event scheduled for Atlanta Sunday evening. However, FBI Special Agent in Charge J. Britt Johnson of the Atlanta office said the bureau did not have "specific or credible information of an attack."
The FBI is aware of reports of an alleged threat that includes an Atlanta, Georgia, venue and event. ... We have ... made the proper notifications as we continue to work closely with our law-enforcement and private-sector partners to keep our community safe."
Original story:
Anonymous, the loose collective of online activists, said Saturday it has uncovered information about Islamic State group attacks in Paris as well as at locations in the U.S., Indonesia, Italy and Lebanon, all apparently set for Sunday. OpParisIntel, a group within Anonymous, released a statement saying it had collected information about imminent attacks by the militant group -- aka Daesh, ISIL and ISIS -- in the French capital a little more than a week after a series of coordinated attacks there left 130 dead and hundreds injured.
Anonymous also said the Islamic State group is planning an assault at the WWE Survivor Series event scheduled to take place in the Philips Arena in Atlanta Sunday at 7.30 p.m. EST, as well as attacks at multiple events in Paris.
The collective published the list of potential targets alongside a statement: "The goal is to make sure the whole world, or at least the people going to these events, know that there have been threats and that there is possibility of an attack to happen. Another goal is to make sure Daesh knows that the world knows and cancels the attacks, which will disorientate them for a while."
The targets listed by Anonymous are as follow:
Cigales Electroniques with Vocodecks, RE-Play & Rawtor at Le Bizen (Paris) Concrete Invites Drumcode: Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joel Mull at Concrete (Paris) Demonstration by Collectif du Droit des Femmes (Paris) Feast of Christ the King celebrations (Rome/Worldwide) Al-Jihad, One Day One Juz (Indonesia) Five Finger Death Punch (Milan) University Pastoral Day (Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, Lebanon) According to Anonymous: "We only appeared now because our goal was to remain undercover and report everything to the right authorities and let them take all the action. But when authorities do not take action, Anonymous does. This part of the op started last Monday and has [been] and will be active 24 hours a day as long as the op is going on."
Speaking to International Business Times, Anonymous said it had passed proof to the MI5 intelligence agency in the U.K., the CIA and FBI in the U.S., and the Australian government but that it has no plans to release the proof publicly. "If we share the proof [publicly], everyone will start calling it fake because screenshots can be edited and accounts can be deleted. We have purposely not shared account links publicly because they would be shut down immediately and then no one would believe the proof."
Anonymous declared war on the Islamic State group last week, vowing to track it down online as part of its Operation Paris (or OpParis). It has since released a guide for all those looking to take part in the operation, which already has identified tens of thousands of Twitter accounts it said are associated with the militant group while also taking some websites offline. The Islamic State group has responded to the threat by Anonymous, warning of a retaliatory attack on the activist group.

Embrace diversity
Obama can’t be bothered with such stuff. He has a gay movie marathon to host at the White House this weekend.
The WWE Event tomorrow is Survivor Series. Im shocked that ISIS even is familiar with wrestling, maybe they are fans of the Undertaker

If this could be verified and they could capture or provide more specific information (which is unlikely to be released to the press at this time), Anonymous could score big time as heroes. Sparing innocents from terror goes a long way towards rehabilitating their public image into something people would celebrate.
Sunday Bloody Sunday
I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes
And make it go away
How long
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long
Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight
Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody sunday
And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long
Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight, tonight. Tonignt, tonight
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

I hate to say it, but I’m more comfortable in the compentence of these guys than that of the feral government.
Looks like sugar daddy Soros funding is cutting it anymore. Anonymouse is now in the click bait bizz.
It is a crazy world we live in.
Obozzo refuses to listen to and allow our intel people to monitor ISIS and prepare the NIS summary.
Anonymous is apparently doing the intel job to protect us that Obozo will not allow.
Putin’s air force is killing Islamo fascists in Libya, who had been killing innocents without any fear of our guys getting the go ahead to take them out.
Are we now depending on Anonymous and Putin to protect us and kill our enemies?
Are we now safer.
Just this publicity may cause ISIS to cancel and redirect their attacks. Surprise gives them the advantage and larger body counts.
Big mistake to attack Atlanta, ISIS you better change your mind. This an’t New York or DC. These country folk’s an’t like the rest of the PC world.
Just another bump in the road, a setback....at least it’s contained.
"Bastards Hacked My Blackberry!!!"
The older ones probably remember The Iron Sheik and Abdullah the Butcher! ;)
I predict Monday. It's cold here today and I've been hearing a lot of chatter.
Is he stopping by Hawaii on his way back from Asia? For some shaved ice and body surfing.. And of course. Golf.
Yawn. They never announce their attacks. But getting the entire country of Belgium shut down has been such a high that they’re going on to “terrify” other infidels.
Our government is all set, in the event of such an attack here, to urge Americans not to be racists and FEMA would be sent to comfort muslims upset by the dirty looks received from friends and relatives of the casualties.
You think I’m joking? The VA just banned Christmas trees.
