Supporters of the ISIS terror group tweeted thousands of messages on Friday bearing the hashtag
#AmessagefromISIStoUS featuring gruesome photos and threats to U.S. soldiers and citizens after American airstrikes took out terrorist targets in Iraq for the first time. Some tweeted photos of dead U.S.
Army soldiers, U.S. marines hung from bridges in Fallujah, decapitated men, human heads on spikes, and the twin towers in flames on September 11, 2001. The tweets came on the day the U.S. unleashed its first airstrikes in northern Iraq against ISIS, amid a worsening humanitarian crisis.
Two airdrops of food and water supplies were also flown in to about 50,000 refugees who took shelter on a barren mountain after being ordered by ISIS to convert or face death. The extremists have taken hundreds of women from a religious minority captive, according to an Iraqi official, and thousands of other civilians have in fear.
The latest Twitter blitz in an extension of ISIS's propaganda push on social media that the terror group has used throughout their campaign to spread fear and intimidate the world.
Over the last few months the medium has been used to post graphic pictures of beheadings, mass killings and boastful messages from fighters who have come from Western countries.
The new messages highlight the possible consequences of President Barack Obama's decision to authorize military airstrikes against the Islamist group, which are partially armed with munitions left behind when he pulled American troops out of Iraq at the end of 2011.
'All it would take is one attack on a diplomatic facility to rally more online strutting,' a State Department official said on condition of anonymity,
'and lots of people will blame the president for antagonizing people who already want to kill Americans.'
The U.S. government will likely brush off the tweeted messages even though they could prove embarrassing to the Obama administration. The official said:
'No one in the U.S. with any social media savvy takes this kind of posturing seriously, but in some parts of the world it will have an effect.'
Indeed, a relative handful of Americans fired back online at the Islamist tweeters, mocking them for turning a life-or-death fight into a matter of bits and bytes.
Islamist Militant group ISIS in their effort to eradicate the Christian faith in the countries and they are not sparing children. There's been several executions of believers, including crucifixions and the beheadings of children. The children's heads are being erected on poles in a city park according to an eyewitness who spoke with CNN.
"There is a park in Mosul where they actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick and have them in the park. The world hasn't seen this kind of atrocity in generations" a prominent Chaldean-American businessman Mark Arabo told CNN
