Twitter Lights Up With ISIS Threats Against US

ISIS militants send threatening Twitter messages to US warning of retaliation over Iraq air strikes

WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES: The Tweets, including hashtags #WarOnWhites and #AmessagefromISIStoUS , featured a raft of gruesome photos





Islamist militants fighting for the ISIS terror group have sent thousands of threatening Twitter messages to America and its supporters warning of widespread retaliation over US air strikes in Iraq.
Using the hashtags #WarOnWhites and #AmessagefromISIStoUS they featured a raft of gruesome images showing dead and seriously injured Allied soldiers from previous fighting.
One of the photos shows two British servicemen covered in flames from a petrol bomb attack in Iraq during the 2003 war.
Other images are of US marines hung from bridges in Fallujah, human heads on spikes and the twin towers in flames following the 9/11 attack.
An ISIS supporter wrote: “We will kill you”, while another added: “You are the target of every Muslim in the world wherever you are.”
Another read the terror group is “ready to cut your heads Dear Americans O sons of bitches. Come quickly” before threatening every US embassy around the world.
The messages, more than 14,000 of them, are the latest in the terror group's use of social media to push their propaganda and spread fear among its enemies.

However the tweets have been met with a number of messages from Brits and Americans who hit back at the threats.
One wrote: "All the bloody images, tough words and pics of knuckle draggers with bushy beards are not scary.
Another wrote: “'Screw you': Americans hijack #AMessageFromISIStoUS," while another added "There will only be one winner. U-S-A, U-S-A."
Former conservative MP Louise Mensch, who now lives in New York, waded in tweeting: "#AmessagefromISIStoUS just like Bin Laden, your fat Rolez-wearing Al Baghdadi will end his days cowering before an American muzzle #isis."
The move is sure to heighten fears ISIS jihadists, many of whom have travelled to neighbouring Syria on western passports, could launch attacks against America, Britain and their supporters.
Recently airports across the world were put on high alert after the CIA received intelligence the ISIS had invented a new bomb undetectable to scanners and searches.
The threats have been taken seriously by the US Government who have increased security at foreign embassies.
One White House source told the Mirror: “President Obama is fully aware of the consequences of military action against the ISIS in Iraq but he was not prepared to stand by any longer and watch American personnel and thousands of innocent people placed in danger.
“He is prepared that they may be consequences and is constantly being briefed on developments."
The move came as America’s State Department issued a travel warning against all essential travel to Iraq due to the high risk of kidnapping and terrorist violence.
Vice President Joe Bidden had earlier called Iraqi President Fuad Masum to say America was committed to supporting the county “from north to south” in the fight against ISIS.
The terror group has recently used in the interment to post a series of graphic images of their killing sprees to spread fear among the Middle East.
