ISIS Threat on the U.S- Lauren Kuehmeier, Period 2
ISIS has recently named the United States as a target along with France, Australia and Canada. And since the attacks in France have taken place, the threat is being taken very seriously and handled carefully.
Their message threatens, "rise up and kill intelligence officers, police officers, soldiers, and civilians." The FBI and the U.S Department of Homeland Security have both warned police officers (especially the NYPD) to be prepared for possible attacks since the attacks on France. The attacks in France include holding civilians hostage and killing at gunpoint along with the shooting of a police officer.

If handled wrongly, this threat could evolve into something worse, throwing the entire world in anarchy. We are treading on thin ice right now, one wrong move and we could all go down.
