  • ISIS Threatens Twitter Co-Founder Jack Dorsey and Other Employees

    If we told you even a year ago that an extremist group was making threats against Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and other company workers you'd barely pay attention, let alone think that it was a serious situation. Unfortunately, after watching groups like ISIS make good on their threats, by threatening and then killing those that they believe are disrupting their plans, it's now necessary to take everything seriously. When ISIS supporters posted a message on Sunday threatening Dorsey for deleting accounts connected to Muslim extremists that have used the social networking site to promote terrorism.

  • Homeland Security Warns US of Threats Made to Mall of America

    It seems like every few days there is a new video released by Islamic militants threatening to take aim at Western targets, and the latest one is threatening shopping malls across the U.S., Canada and Europe. The idea of lone-wolf attackers targeting softer targets such as shopping facilities is nothing new overseas, but here it has the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stepping up police presence and asking shoppers to be extra careful. The Mall of America, in Minnesota, was one of the targets mentioned by name, and this morning Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was interviewed on CNN about the warning that has been sounded to consumers in middle America.

  • US Military's Twitter, YouTube Accounts Hacked by ISIS

    The United States is united with France in the notion that we will not walk in fear, but that does not mean the Muslim extremist groups are not going to do their best to generate that kind of reaction. On Monday afternoon, Jan. 12, individuals claiming to be part of the Islamic State — or ISIS — claimed responsibility immediately for hacking into the U.S. military's Central Command Twitter and YouTube accounts."ISIS is already here, we are in your PCs, in each military base," read a message posted to CENTCOM's account by the hackers. "With Allah's permission we are in CENTCOM now."Other tweets sent out from CENTCOM's account included contact information for some of the U.S.'s most high-ranking officials. That would seem to indicate that this group has indeed infiltrated far more than just a few social media accounts.

  • 12 People Dead in Terrorist Attack at Satirical Newspaper 'Charlie Hebdo' Offices in Paris

    What an awful story to begin the day, as we have learned that two gunmen stormed the offices of "Charlie Hebdo," a French satirical newspaper, and opened fire during an editorial meeting. As of now, 12 people are confirmed dead and at least 10 more are injured. The shooting reportedly went on for five minutes and, in spite of having a shootout with police, both gunmen are still on the loose. The publication has been vilified for years because of its portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad and its offices were actually fire bombed once before.The publication had been seen as so much of a target that up until recently there was a strong police presence outside of the offices. Sources have said that it was only recently that the building became less protected. According to Chris Parsons of Yahoo News UK, French President Francois Hollande visited the site of the attack and has since called an emergency meeting."Charlie Hebdo" has a history of causing controversy with cartoons of Islam's prophet Muhammad. Speaking to the BBC after its office was firebombed in November 2011, the paper's editor-in-chief, Stephane Charbonnier — who is said to be among the dead today — said the incident had only confirmed that it was right to take the stance it did.

  • Sydney Gunman Man Haron Monis Was Well-Known by Police But Not on Any Terror Watch List

    Just one day after a hostage situation at a Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Sydney, Australia's financial district ended with three dead after law enforcement stormed in, the country is left to ponder how something so sinister could have even played out there. We now know that Man Haron Monis was the 50-year-old gunman who fancied himself a sheikh with a personal agenda, but what is not clear is how he was free in the first place.Monis had a long history of brushes with the law and he was charged with everything from sexual assault to sending hate mail to the families of fallen Australian solders who died in Afghanistan. Perhaps the most horrific thing he had been charged with before yesterday was being an accessory to his former wife's murder.Apparently, Monis's latest girlfriend stabbed his ex and then set her on fire and he was actually out on bail for his part in the crime when he decided to take 17 hostages yesterday morning and demand that a flag of ISIS be brought to him.Sydney locals's shock morphed into anger when they realized that not only did their own law enforcement seem to drop the ball with Monis, but even with his outward love of Muslim extremist behavior he actually was not on any kind of terror watch list. This fact has left Prime Minister Tony Abbott deeply disturbed.
