A document claiming to be from a southeast
Asian chapter of the Islamic State Hacking
Division states that ISIS is ready for
cyberwar with Turkey if the republic
does not free jihadists caught trying to
 cross into the caliphate.
A handbook released by ISIS earlier this
year detailed a web of sympathizers
utilized on the Turkish side of the
500-mile border with Syria to smuggle
in recruits from around the world.
This includes special safehouses for
 women wanting to go to the Islamic State.
“Lately things have got harder at the
 Turkish border, so Islamic State members
 often meet new people in Turkey hotels
and smuggle them across the border,” the
guide said, stressing safehouses can only be
 accessed with “a paper signed by an existing
member to show he is trustworthy.” It added
that “the only reason members live in Turkey
in some peace is because Turkey fears revenge
attacks.”
Faced with international criticism and
high-profile cases of teens running away to
 join the caliphate, Turkey has been making
notable arrests including nine Brits nabbed
last week trying to cross illegally into Syria.
 Among that group was Waheed Ahmed, the
 21-year-old son of a Labour Party council
member, and four small children.
In the past few days, Turkish border guards
 have caught people from Switzerland, Kosovo,
Syria, Tajikistan, Russia, China and Iraq trying
 to sneak into Syria. A Dutch woman who
Turkish officials said was sought by Interpol
 was
also apprehended in the flurry of detainments.
Turkey’s Sabah newspaper reports “both the
number and the variety of people illegally
 tryingto cross the border has increased” since
Turkey started cracking down
 on the ISIS pipeline,
 which
consists not only of foreign fighters
but smuggled
goods.
Now, ISIS is warning Turkey to let their would-be
 caliphate citizens go or face the cyber consequences.
The warning, titled “Fight Them with Every Power,”
 was posted by the “MIT” cyber team of the
Islamic State Hacking Division — Mujahidin Indonesia Timor.
It decries the “brothers who became prisoners
when seeking to move to the caliphate” and those
“repatriated back to their Kufr states” after being
caught.
“Pay attention and take note of our terror threat,
Erdogan!” it says, demanding that all destined for
 the Islamic State be immediately released “without
condition” and deportations canceled for those
 designated to be returned to their home countries.
“By God, we will launch our attack in cyberspace
 to be a helper for our brothers” if all demands
are not met.
The PDF released by the group cites numerous
Quranic verses and warns against taking part in
“this infidel coalition warfare.”
“You have seen our terror, you have been
shocked by the terror… even through cyberspace.
 We who terrorize you with a variety of media
eleases, we are responsible for the publication
of the identity of the soldiers (US. Army),”
it states, referring to last month’s posting of
the names, photos and addresses of 100
American service members with a call to
SIS recruits in the U.S. to kill them.
“If you say this as a joke (we hope so), wait
until we arrive in front of your home and
cut down your neck as Qisas
for the carnage you did to the Muslims
,” it adds. Qisas is the Islamic principle
ISIS said justified the murder by fire
f Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh.
