Perhaps the Islamic State overheard the Trump administration declaring victory, and it felt the need to respond. We don’t know for sure. The evil organization is relentless, and as much as a I look forward to the day where it’s truly eradicated, I know another extremist organization will rise up and try to take its place.
They’re like cockroaches. (Sorry cockroaches.)
While ISIS has experienced some serious setbacks, it’s not stopping the terrorists from releasing graphic propaganda videos.
The Islamic Ghosts of the Caliphate recently released a video, declaring that it successfully hacked the US Army and State Department and gained access to confidential information. It claims it’s sending “lone wolves” to assassinate employees.
“We were able to hack sensitive sites of the US Army, the Interior Ministry, the State Department, and other government sites, and we were able to get thousands of your confidential information,” they say in the video. “We have sent the information to our lone wolves to assassinate you and to increase frequent jihadist operations against you.”
The video then shows a series of American websites with the names and addresses of employees which the group claims to have gained after hacking the sites.
The examples of hacked websites shown in the video are not from the State Department or US Army but other lower-security sites including the Geological Society of Nevada and the National Caves Association.
They also say, “The Islamic State did not start the war against you and you will pay a great price as your sons will return to you as amputees or in coffins” and “You will pay a price as you walk along your streets fearing Muslims. We will attack your homeland – you will not even feel secure in your bedrooms” and “Muslims will return to being masters of the world and kings of the earth.”
You wanna bet?
If they think they’re going to declare full on war against the United States, I can guarantee how that would end.
At this point, “experts” aren’t so sure how credible the threats are. Yes, they want to kill us all (what’s new?), but do they really have access to “thousands” of pages of confidential information?
Raphael Gluck of monitoring group JihadoScope told MailOnline: ‘It’s hard to tell how much of a threat this poses.
‘Their tactic seems to be to say: “Here’s some info we have, it’s just a sample of the info we have hacked and we have sent our lone wolves to the addresses we have gained.” They’re trying to sow the seeds of fear.’
They’re probably just saying this to instill fear. Terrorizing. It’s what they do.
