The Pentagon has responded to a globally-released Kill List, asking law enforcement to give extra protection for military personnel whose personal information was released,News Channel 10 reports.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the Pentagon spent the weekend notifying the soldiers who appeared on the list, and urged city police departments and military police to increase patrol in the neighborhoods where the targeted live.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) published the list days ago, a report that contained names, photos, and home addresses of U.S. Armed Forces personnel, causing alarm in cities potentially at high-risk.
According to the publication, ISIS urges followers and sympathizers in the U.S. to kill the servicemen. Specific personnel on the list are largely from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy branches of the countrys military that have conducted massive air strikes against ISIS.
The air strikes have left ISIS mostly defenseless, killing over 8,000 fighters with attacks carried out on more than 5,000 targets. But ISIS appears to be fighting back through forms of social media.
The Pentagon says the the targeted appeared to be compiled from public sources anything from news articles to Facebook posts that could have linked them to attacks on the terrorist group. Officials with the Pentagon say some members were incorrectly identified, but right or wrong, its still a threat.
Seven Texas cities were included on the list: Abilene, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Wyle, Fort Hood, Bedford, and Kileen.

Those Brats are pork!
Monterrey, California. Those people are 100% safe...no such city. They have to head 1,482 miles southeast to get to Monterrey, Mexico. Maybe ISIS doesn’t like frijoles?
Solvang? WTH-Are they waging jihad against pastries?
I might have thought Mountain Home, but Bonners Ferry?
Bizarre list. Some cities seem to make sense, others (most?) aren’t even cities. I imagine conservatives would be more disturbed by attacks on small towns, for various reasons. Is the list really what they are planning, or is a mind-game? In the end, I think it is a little too-clever.
Yeah, Colton, population 425, isolated and with hardly any activity, that’s a puzzle.
None in WV either, bummer.
It’s a testament to small town America that so many of the heroes that form the tip of the spear hail from little places like Bonners Ferry.
Small town America is the real threat to Isis.
Hmmm, two of the cities have a link to Denmark...coincidence I don't think so!
Bttt
That list was released in February.

DEARBORN Heights??? Dearborn is over 30% Arab, and the centerpiece of Sharia in America!
That’s right. One has one r and the other has two r’s.
Texas wins with seven! Woot! U.S. Texans take that as a badge of honor.
BTW, are they really that stupid? I know a lot of Texans who are itching to Cowboys and Islamists...
The WA list makes no sense. Most of the current and retired military are closer to JBLM. BUT they can have Seattle.
They really are ignorant aren’t they?
Heck, Seattle would give ISIS a hero’s welcome.
