ISIS To Attack US Citizens? Islamic State ‘Kill Lists’ Include Names, Addresses Of Average Citizens
The names of average Americans have begun to appear on “kill lists” published by supporters of the Islamic State group, the Wall Street Journalreported Tuesday.
The long lists from sympathizers of the group also known as ISIS contain the names, home addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of average Americans who reportedly have no links to the U.S. government. ISIS has encouraged its members and supporters to target people named on the lists.
Authorities have notified the people whose names have been included but remain unsure if the lists pose a serious threat or are meant to be used as a scare tactic by the Islamist group. More than 2,000 New Yorkers were named on one list released at the end of April by the United Cyber Caliphate. Those named on the New York list included stay-at-home mothers and media executives.
“They’re putting out the lists that they are finding online and they’re sending it to their followers and they are saying these are good people for you to attack,” Thomas Galati, chief of intelligence for the New York Police Department, told the Wall Street Journal. “You can’t discount it.”
