ISIS Urges Sympathizers to Kill U.S. Service Members It Identifies on Website
New York Times ^ | March 21, 2015 | By MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and HELENE COOPER

WASHINGTON — In a new online threat to American military personnel, the Islamic State has called on its members and sympathizers in the United States to kill 100 service members whose names, photos and purported addresses it posted on a website.

The group said that the personnel had participated in efforts to defeat it in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere.

Defense Department and F.B.I. officials said that they were aware of the website and were investigating the posting.

It does not appear that the information had been hacked from government servers. One Defense Department official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that most of the information could be found in public records, residential address search sites and social media.

The officials said the list appears to be drawn from personnel who have appeared in news articles about airstrikes on the militant group.

Some of the names also appear to be drawn from the Defense Department’s own official reports on the campaign against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS and ISIL. . .

The neighbors are armed. At least in our neck of the woods. Might be good to keep a watch out for suspicious people casing our service members households.

I’m wondering of this is really ISIS. I wouldn’t put it past the puppet masters in the White House to create this “crisis” for some nefarious purpose.

Hit the server, along with the jokers who operate it, and call it "Operation Net Neutrality".

60 Minutes just had a segment on the ISIS eradication of Christianity in Iraq. Don't know if it is a rerun, but basically said that the departure of US forces resulted in wholesale persecution at the hands of ISIS.

I know...

Re: “Some of the names also appear to be drawn from the Defense Department’s own official reports on the campaign against the Islamic State, also known.”

Say that again?! Are DOD official campaign reports assessable to the public at large?

“And to prevent any escalation of violence 0bama will order the military personnel not to carry personal weapons.”

In place of carrying their personal weapons, he will order them to carry job applications which he expects them to throw at the enemy.
