The FBI has issued a very stern warning to our military personnel that ISIS is currently seeking followers in the U.S. who are “willing and capable of conducting attacks against current and former US-based members of the United States military.”
The FBI and DHS are now requesting that military personnel get rid of their social media accounts, which are thought to be the main method by which ISIS will track them.
So now our servicemen will be that much more out of touch with the rest of America.
“The FBI and DHS recommend that current and former members of the military review their online social media accounts for any information that might serve to attract the attention of ISIL [ISIS] and its supporters,” the federal bulletin sent to law enforcement agencies said, advising that troops “routinely exercise operational security in their interactions online.”Officials said they fear copycat attacks based on what happened in Canada last month, when two uniformed Canadian soldiers were killed in two separate incidents by young men who claimed they were ISIS followers.
Some in U.S. special operations and other military branches have told ABC News they deactivated, scrubbed or locked Facebook and other personal social media accounts months ago at the urging of security officers as the U.S. began bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria last August.
But the government on Sunday night indicated they had obtained fresh intelligence that ISIS wants to recruit or inspire sympathizers inside America to hurt military members where they live.
“The FBI recently received reporting indicating individuals overseas are spotting and assessing like-minded individuals who are willing and capable of conducting attacks against current and former U.S.-based members of the United States military,” the bulletin said.
Attacks such as those in Canada — which apparently were carried out without direct contact between ISIS and the perpetrators — may “embolden” and “motivate” those who support ISIS, the FBI and DHS said.
Today a spokesperson for the Pentagon said the bulletin reinforces information the military been providing troops since the Ottawa shootings.
The spokesperson, Col. Steve Warren, told reporters he wasn’t aware of any new intelligence that might have triggered the bulletin and deferred questions to the FBI and DHS.
“It’s advice to be vigilant. There’s an enemy out there [and] that enemy has made very clear that they seek to make harm to Americans so this advisory was to ensure that you’re taking all appropriate cautions for individual force protection,” Warren said.
The day before the U.S. launched its biggest air blitz against the terrorist group in Iraq and Syria in late September, ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani called upon Muslims in the U.S. and Europe to attack members of the military.
the FBI should delete them
Bring it on……
Isis my ass, that’s just the excuse the feds will use for eliminating the competition.
They are waiting for their 72 virgins!
The last bunch that bombed the trade center took time out the night before and just happened to know where the strippers were and went there.
obama caused this mess…. fool.
This is a precautionary because ISIS tracked down Iraqi military men by their FB accounts. Many were shot while still in their civilian clothes and unarmed as reported by Vice News.
Sounds more like the Feds are faking concern for the military and vets I mean c’mon D.H.S. and F.B.I. Those bastards have active military and vets at the top of their enemy list F.F.S… All the same be on your guard peeps coz we know the dirty lowdown scummy tactics they employ
fool in dc is to blame for all this mess he needs to be gone forever
SilentScout says:
“Yeah right. Blame it on the western created Isis.
Meanwhile, Obama, Holder, the FBI, the DHS, etc, have already made it plainly known by their actions that they consider American veterans to be the enemy, especially combat veterans.
The tyrants in DC are the real communist terrorist enemy, along with their scape goat puppets called Isis. They are starting something that they will not successfully finish.”
