A hacking group connected to the Islamic terrorist group ISIS is sending a threat to members of the U.S. military and government workers, saying that they’re being watched in their own homes.
The group published a list on Tuesday that they claim contains personal information of soldiers and government employees. The hackers for ISIS told The Blaze that they are continually spying on Americans.
(All grammatical errors in the quotes below are directly from the terrorists.)
“Just like they spy on the muslims,” the terrorists stated, “we are spying on them, watching their employees, watching their soldiers, recording their movements and taking their location information and passing it on the soldiers of the islamic state.”
The terrorists focused on what they say is the fact they don’t need to attack military facilities.
“the brothers don’t need to attack them in military bases or secured buildings,” the hacking group member added. “they can now turn up in their houses. in their homes. this is war, what did you expect? u think u can bomb the islamic state and we don’t do nothing back? soon, very soon you will see.”
The hackers said this is “war.”
“this is what, what did you expect?” the hacker wrote. “u think u can bomb the islamic state and we dont do nothing back?”
The declaration comes just days after a Mississippi couple was arrested for attempting to fly to Turkey to join the terrorist group.
Israel’s Shin Bet General Security Service announced Tuesday they had captured a Hamas terrorist who has given up a trove of information on the terrorist group’s tunnel system into Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has confirmed much of the terrorist’s information including a tunnel in the area of the Kerem Shalom border crossing. The IDF says they are working “around the clock” to take care of the threat from the newly discovered tunnels.
The terrorist, Ibraheem Adel Shehadeh Shaer, was a tunnel digger for the terror group. In addition to the locations of new parts to the Hamas tunnel system, Shaer provided information emergency procedures and how they plan to use the tunnels to attack Israel.
Shaer told Shin Bet that Iran provided cash to Hamas along with advanced weapons and electronic equipment. Some of the advanced equipment is designed to interfere with the control signals for Israeli drone aircraft.
The fighter detailed the advanced units of Hamas along with the group’s anti-tank and anti-aircraft capabilities. He also gave up the location of observation posts and photographic capabilities into Israel.
Shaer also confirmed that Hamas commanders keep weapons and explosives in their homes around their families because of fear of Israeli airstrikes.
A man who was a devout Muslim and training to be a radical imam in the land of ISIS is now a Jesus fanatic who claims Christ came to him supernaturally in a dream.
“I was a…Muslim and often preached, but there was something missing. There was something empty about Allah and the Quran. Jesus appeared to me in a dream and open my eyes … what has missing was His love and peace,” said Iraqi Barazan Azeezi to The Christian Post.
Azeezi said that he was a “violent person” and was motivated by fear of Allah. After the meeting with Christ in his dream, he not only renounced violence but says he experienced “love” for the “true God” and that he sees God’s truth.
Azeezi also faced persecution and anger from his Islamic family.
“In the beginning, my family thought I was joking and claimed that I was going mad,” he said. “After months of debates, they started to threaten to kill me. … It was God’s grace that helped me overcome the fear.”
Azeezi said that he is not the only person to come to Christ through supernatural experiences. He shared the story of an ISIS terrorist who had been sent to destroy a church building. When he entered the church, a bright light appeared on him. A voice in the light said he was Jesus. The fighter immediately dropped his items and accepted Christ as Lord.
Azeezi says that he believes satan is trying to keep those in the Middle East from seeing the truth of Christ.
“I believe Satan creates chaos in the Middle East to stop the gospel from reaching our people. This is one of his last strongholds in the world and he won’t back off easily,” he said.
An attack on two Palestinian homes in the West Bank that burned the homes and killed an 18-month-old boy is causing a major increase in the region’s tension.
The buildings were marked with graffiti that lead authorities to believe it was carried out by Jewish terrorists. A star of David was painted on one building along with the message “Long live the Messiah.”
The family of the murdered boy has been hospitalized in critical condition, including a 4-year-old-boy.
“I am shocked by the murder of Ali Dawabshe,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement released on Facebook. “This is a reprehensible and horrific act of terrorism in every respect. The State of Israel takes a strong line against terrorism regardless of who the perpetrators are. I have ordered the security forces to use all means at their disposal to apprehend the murderers and bring them to justice forthwith. The Government of Israel is united in its strong opposition to such deplorable and awful acts. On behalf of the citizens of Israel, I would like to share in the sorrow of the family of Ali Dawabshe and wish a quick recovery to the family members who were injured.”
The Palestinian Authority said they will take the Israeli government in front of the International Criminal Court and say that the action is a war crime by the Israeli government.
Other nations around the world condemned the attack but welcomed Israel’s position they will go after the terrorists and bring them to justice.
“[The U.S.] condemns in the strongest possible terms last night’s vicious terrorist attack in the Palestinian village of Duma. We convey our profound condolences to the Dawabsha family and extend our prayers for a full recovery to those injured,” US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.
“We welcome Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu’s order to Israel’s security forces to use all means at their disposal to apprehend the murderers for what he called an act of terrorism and bring them to justice.”
Both Netanyahu and Israeli President Reuben Rivlin visited the family at the hospital and told them they would seek swift justice to whoever carried out the attack.
Palestinians have already begun to carry out acts of terrorism in response to the Thursday night action. Israelis across the nation are reporting various acts of arson by Palestinians. Israeli cars have been hit by gunfire and at least one policeman was wounded in an attack at the Temple Mount.
A 15-year-old British man has admitted in a Manchester court that he was working on a plot via the Internet to behead, run over or shoot police officers in Australia.
The attack, inspired by the Islamic extremist group ISIS, was to take place on April 25th, the day Australia celebrates the service of their armed forces.
The unidentified youth pleaded guilty to inciting terrorism overseas and because he was 14 at the time of arrest, he became the youngest person in British history to be convicted of terrorism offenses.
Prosecutors showed the enthusiasm of the boy for the attack by entering into court thousands of instant messages with fellow terrorist Sevdet Besim in Australia over a 10 day period.
“Those messages reveal the intentions of the plotters and their targets, along with their motivation which may be summarised as support for Isis and their enthusiasm for the attack,” prosecutor Paul Greaney said according to the BBC.
“The messages also set out the plotters’ preparations for the attack. On 18 March 2015, as part of those preparations, the defendant sent Sevdet Besim a message that read, ‘suggest you break into someone’s house and get your first taste of beheading’. Sevdet Besim responded to say that this seemed ‘a little risky’ and that aspect of the preparations appears then to have drifted away.”
The judge says because of the boy’s age it will be hard to find a sentence. The formal sentencing is scheduled for March 3rd.
Terrorism investigators are looking closely at a trip taken to Jordan by Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez to see if he had contact with known terrorists or terrorist sympathizers.
FBI officials say that Abdulazeez spent seven months in Jordan last year, one of several trips he had made to the region over the last few years. He went to Jordan in the last weeks of 2005, in the summer of 2008, the summer of 2010 and during the spring of 2013. The trips lasted anywhere from two weeks to two months.
Despite the pattern of trips, the FBI admitted Abdulazeez was not on their watch list of possible terrorist sympathizers or operatives.
However, his father had been investigated years prior for giving money to an organization that had suspected connections to terrorists.
Abdulazeez’s attack on two Navy recruiting centers left four Marines dead. They have been identified as Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan, of Springfield, Mass., Lance Cpl. Skip “Squire” Wells, of Marietta, Ga., Sgt. Carson Holmquist, of Grantsburg Wisc., and Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, of Chattanooga.
Security experts say that the shooting shows an inherent weakness in recruiting stations for the military. The locations need to be easily accessible to the public.
“They’re supposed to be convenient; they’re supposed to be easily accessible,” Brian Michael Jenkins, a security expert who is senior adviser to the president of the RAND Corporation, told the New York Times. “They’re virtually no more protected than a shoe store in a shopping mall.”
Islamic terrorist group ISIS has released a video showing a series of brutal executions in what they say is an instructional video on dealing with spies.
The video, filmed in the ISIS stronghold of Mosul, shows the brutal killing of a dozen condemned men. In the first segment, men are placed into a car and then a terrorist blows up the car with a rocket propelled grenade. The screams of the men in the car can be clearly heard on the recording.
In the second section, they lower men in a cage into a swimming pool to drown and use an underwater camera to show the men dying. In the third, they line kneeling men up and wrap an explosive cord around their necks which is then detonated.
The film is intercut with footage of the condemned men allegedly confessing to their “crimes.”
The video comes on the heels of a major ISIS operative being killed in an air strike outside of Mosul. A Pentagon spokesman revealed Wednesday that Ali Awni al-Harzi of Tunisia, a person of interest in the 2012 Benghazi attack, died in a June 15th strike.
“His death degrades ISIL’s ability to integrate North African jihadists into the Syrian and Iraqi fight and removes a jihadist with long ties to international terrorism,” Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steve Warren said.
Islamic terrorist group ISIS has crucified two children because they ate food before sunset during Ramadan.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported the murders Monday. Muslims are prohibited from taking food or water between sunrise and sunset during Ramadan.
It is the latest in a long string of abuses against children by the Islamic extremists.
“We have had reports of children, especially children who are mentally challenged, who have been used as suicide bombers, most probably without them even understanding,” United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child expert Renate Winter said in February about ISIS. “There was a video placed [online] that showed children at a very young age, approximately 8 years of age and younger, being trained to become child soldiers.”
ISIS has also been reported to have kidnapped over a thousand children to be forced into jihadi training camps.
Iraq’s al-Sumaria TV network aired a Kurdish Democratic Party spokesman in Mosul that said ISIS kidnapped 1,227 from various Mosul neighborhoods. The children have been labeled “Cubs of the Caliphate” and are being educated in the extremist ISIS ideology.
Islamic terrorist group ISIS has planted land mines around some of the world’s most ancient sites according to the monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The group told Sky News they had evidence the mines were places around the ancient ruins in the city of Palmyra on Saturday.
The ancient site was overtaken by the Islamic extremists last month and many major world leaders feared they would destroy the ancient parts of the city in the same manner they destroyed ancient tombs and churches in other captured villages. However, the terrorists have not destroyed the buildings and even used an amphitheater to force residents to watch executions.
“It is not known if the purpose is to blow up the ruins or to prevent regime forces from advancing into the town,” Rami Abdul Rahan, SOHR Director, told Sky News.
A Syrian antiquities official confirmed the report.
“We have preliminary information from residents saying that this is correct, they have laid mines at the temple site,” Maamoun Abdulkarim said. “I hope that these reports are not correct, but we are worried.”
Palmyra is a UNESCO World Heritage site and was the destination of hundreds of thousands of visitors a year before the Syrian civil war.
A 21-year-old New York City man is jailed after attempting to stab an FBI agent during a terrorist investigation raid.
Fareed Mumuni is accused of being a supporter of ISIS. The FBI raided his home in Staten Island Wednesday and during the raid he tried multiple times to stab an FBI agent.
“As the officers attempted to restrain (him), Mumuni repeatedly attempted to plunge the knife into the torso of an FBI special agent and reached out with his hand in the vicinity of a rifle used by another member of law enforcement,” read the criminal complaint.
The agent with the Joint Terrorism Task Force wasn’t injured as the knife was never able to penetrate his body armor.
Mumuni is believed to have been working with two other men to place pressure cooker bombs similar to those used in the Boston Marathon attacks around New York City.
Mumuni has confessed to discussing how to build a pressure cooker bomb with one of the other suspected terrorists and that he planned to join ISIS in the Middle East. He is being held without bail.
His relatives insist that Mumuni is innocent.
“It’s not true he pulled a knife on cops,” uncle Mohammed Alfonga said. “You think he’d be alive if he did that? They would have shot him in the living room.”
“He may have been caught with the wrong crowd,” Alfonga added. “The other guys said he’s involved, they have to arrest him. But they took everything, his computers. They didn’t find anything.”
There have been arrests of suspected ISIS sympathizers in 19 states in the last two years.
