Islamic State Releases Troops’ IDs, Urges Attacks
The Islamic State group has reportedly posted the names, photos and home addresses of 100 American troops, urging sympathizers inside the U.S. to carry out attacks against them.
A group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division posted the threat on a website Friday night, stating that the troops identified carried out bombings on Islamic State targets in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Afghanistan, the New York Daily News reported Saturday.
The group called on the troops to be killed “in their own lands” as they “walk their own streets thinking they are safe,” according to the Daily News. The list reportedly includes photos and personal data on Marines, sailors and airmen, many of whom are pilots.
