Chicago a top Islamic State terror target, report

Share:

isis tweet chicago white houseOver the past six years, Chicago has become a top potential target for international terrorists, a top security expert said Friday, making the posting of a veiled threat by Islamic radicals on Twitter a higher cause for concern.

“Many terror organizations refer to Chicago as Obama Town,” said CBS 2 security expert Ross Rice, a former FBI agent in Chicago. Under President Obama, the U.S. took out Osama bin Laden, and used repeated drone strikes to weaken terror networks.

In the meantime, the U.S. government on Friday issued a security bulletin to all U.S. law enforcement in light of the overall threat posed by Islamic State, commonly known as ISIS or ISIL.

The ominous post on Twitter, purportedly from somebody connected with Islamic State, shows a photo of the Old Republic Building, 307 N. Michigan Ave., in Chicago and the White House.

The text reads:

#AmessagefromISIStoUS
We are in your state
We are in your cities
We are in your streets

You are our goals anywhere.

The handwritten note is dated June 20.

The security bulletin issued Friday cautioned that there is no known threat to any U.S. cities

The Twitter message seems to imply that Islamic State operatives are in Chicago and other U.S. cities.

Islamic State is responsible for executing kidnapped journalist James Foley. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said ISIS an “imminent threat to every interest we have.”

Making things more complicated is the fact that these radicalized men are U.S. citizens or foreign nationals here legally, making it easy for them to travel and avoid suspicion.

Islamic State released a horrific video this week showing the beheading Foley, who was a graduate of Northwestern University.

      “Abu Wa’el Dhiab, a father of four from Syria, is currently asking the DC District Court to order a halt to abusive force-feeding methods and the practice of unnecessary ‘forced cell extractions.’ Mr Dhiab, who needs a wheelchair after years of mistreatment at Guantánamo, has been detained at the prison without charge or trial since 2002. He was cleared for release by the Obama Administration in 2009.

      Just one of many. U should be very proud of yourself supporting gitmo

      A few weeks after taking office, in Feb 2001, Bush and Cheney held their first National Security Counci meeting. The subject was the conquest of Iraq followed by conquest of six other countries. This would give the US complete control of the oil in the Persian Gulf. All the shit you have seen since then can be traced back to that meeting.

          From Gen Wesley Clark’s memoirs:

          We’re going to take out seven countries in five years.’ And he named them, starting with Iraq and Syria and ending with Iran.” While
          Clark doesn’t name the other four countries, he has mentioned in
          televised interviews that the hit list included Lebanon, Libya, Somalia
          and Sudan.

          Did you forget about the boston bombers, killed at random innocent people attending a marathon, including children. What do you expect them to do ? Its due process as you said.

      So u have no problem with killing people without due process? Everybody has a right to a fair trial and THEN and only then does punishment deserves to be handed out.
      Giving governments free reign to kill who they deem deserves death without due process is stupid at best.

        Lighten up its the west they will not just randomly grab the closest arab and lop off his/her head. They will do the usuall investigations, they might get it wrong at times but its a result of extremism thats increasing in recent days. Further, my feed them to the fish comment was a little humor. You starting to get very touchy lately.

      2. Below is your comment about the judge that got executed by isis with no trial or “DUE PROCESS” double standard selective justice much?

          Obviously u missed the court case where he committed somebody to death without a fair trail!
          Even the UN complained about justice not being done. So he def had due process u retard. And it was on recorded. If u have a terrorist committing a crime on camera then what more proof do u need?
          U need wasabi and ginger and a swim.

          “This echoed a call made yesterday by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour.

          Mr. Alston stressed that the trials “were characterized by glaring flaws” with the legal right of defendants to challenge evidence severely impeded. The statements of at least 23 prosecution witnesses were read into the court record without giving the defendants any opportunity to question them. He cited “the disarray” of the trial with an 80 per cent turnover among the judges and the murder of three defence lawyers.”

    The uS did not kill Bin Laden. He died in the mountains of Afghanistan in 2001. Any narrative after that is a macho fantasy.

      Well, since all the photos of that version haven’t hit YouTube, I’d stick with the later one.
      And if the US got to the guy who played Bin Laden after #1 died, who cares? He’s gone.
      Thumbs UP.

        So neither the raid or the 9 1/2 years after Dec 2001 presented any evidence that he lived. Believe what you want but the raid was a macho fantasy intended to bolster BHO’s chances of reelection. And guess what? It worked!

          Texans have hated that part, for sure. 😉

        You prefer the version put forth by the obvious liars that faked the Bin Laden videos? The seal raid presented zero roof of OBL, despite “millions of documents” The story was full of lies. This is the kind of crap you choose to believe. The world is upside down.
