ISIS Urges Sympathizers to Kill U.S. Service Members It Identifies on Website

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. . .

OK, fair is fair. Let's start identifying, publicizing the addresses of and terminating activist Muslims. It is not murder, remember; it is preemptive self-defense.

Yep, it was and it does not surprise me at all by what ISIS has done.

I’m not in the military, but I’d consider it an honor if they would add my name to their list.
