The FBI has reportedly issued a warning to to TV anchors and reporters in the US that they might be the next targets of the terror group ISIL.
The Boston Herald reports, the Bureau sent out a bulletin to the media yesterday saying an internet post on an Islamic State Internet site identifies “‘journalists, TV anchors, talk show hosts, news broadcasters, correspondents on the ground and other media operatives’ as ‘desirable targets.'”
Washington, D.C ABC affiliate WJLA added, “The bulletin also said the FBI had obtained “credible information indicating members of an ISIL-affiliated group are tasked with kidnapping journalists in the region and returning them to Syria.”
The Herald also said the bulletin warns “members of this group might try to mask their affiliation with (ISIS) to gain access to journalists.”
