The warnings have been issued through an intelligence bulletin after the Army Threat Integration Center ARTIC recognized the potential danger – this ARTIC issues early warnings of threats. Through this bulletin, it has warned military personnel and their loved ones about ISIS calling supporters to target their homes and suggested that they take precautions.
The ARCTIC is obviously worried because, given the continued rhetoric being issued by ISIL's media services and supporters through various social media platforms, there are possibilities of attacks.
As per intelligence reports, the ISIS, has threatened violence against the U.S. following air strikes carried out in Iraq in August and in Syria in September. ISIS has already shared grisly videos showing the beheadings of American journalists and a British aid worker. Moreover, its supporters are resorting to social media to threaten the U.S. and U.S. interests with violence in response.
The warning to the U.S. Amy through ARTIC comes after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers had warned that the group is using social media as a 'recruiting tool'. As per some of the estimates, the terror network is recruiting as many as 3,400 people per month through their social media recruiting efforts.
