Apparently,
looks can kill. In a very real story that we assure you did not
originate from The Onion, a terrorist from ISIS recently took a selfie
of himself and posted it online.
Shortly thereafter, U.S.
Intelligence, which heavily monitors social media accounts from ISIS members
and supporters, managed to pinpoint an ISIS headquarters building in Syria by
using the selfie photo as a reference point.
According
to Air Force General Hawk Carlisle (which is a perfect name for an Air Force
General we must say), airmen from Hurlburt Field, Florida in the 361st
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group were the first to pick up
on the photo.
“The guys that were working down out
of Hurlburt, they’re combing through social media and they see some moron
standing at this command,”Carlisle said in an interview
with Defense Tech.
“And in some social media, open forum, bragging about the command and control
capabilities for Daesh, ISIL. And these guys go: ‘We got an in.’ So they do
some work, long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building,
three [Joint Direct Attack Munitions] take that entire building out.”
