ISIS laptop yields bio-terror plan.

(the laptop)


"The laptop's contents turn out to be a treasure trove of documents that provide ideological justifications for jihadi organizations — and practical training on how to carry out the Islamic State's deadly campaigns. They include videos of Osama bin Laden, manuals on how to make bombs, instructions for stealing cars, and lessons on how to use disguises in order to avoid getting arrested while traveling from one jihadi hot spot to another.

But after hours upon hours of scrolling through the documents, it became clear that the ISIS laptop contains more than the typical propaganda and instruction manuals used by jihadists. The documents also suggest that the laptop's owner was teaching himself about the use of biological weaponry, in preparation for a potential attack that would have shocked the world."
gizmodo.com...

I had a feeling something like this was going to happen soon. The article goes on to say that they are eyeing the Mexican border with the USA to do the attack, which is smart by them since we just let anyone waltz on over anyways.

Looks like the laptop was recovered in January, and the owner has tests from college and pictures of himself it.

(Owner who has since disappeared)

Plus other plots like using the bubonic plague on Europe to whip the continent off the planet. Or like this one, ""Use small grenades with the virus, and throw them in closed areas like metros, soccer stadiums, or entertainment centers," the 19-page document on biological weapons advises. "Best to do it next to the air-conditioning. It also can be used during suicide operations."


(Some of the files saved onto the hard drive.)

Lastly, it does go on to say they haven't gotten their hands on anything yet, even though I don't believe that for a second.

One of these days I'll learn how they do this....

here's one story....

Laptop reportedly seized from ISIS hideout hints at bio weapons attack

A laptop reportedly recovered from an Islamic State jihadist contained a hidden trove of secret plans, including weaponizing the bubonic plague, and lessons on disguise, bomb-making and stealing cars.

A man identified by ForeignPolicy.com as Abu Ali, a commander of a moderate Syrian rebel group in northern Syria, told the publication the black laptop was seized earlier this year in a raid on an ISIS hideout in the Syrian province of Idlib, close to the border with Turkey, and belonged to a Tunisian jihadist.

"We found the laptop and the power cord in a room," Ali told ForeignPolicy.com. "I took it with me."

Hmmm.

The OP probably lost everything typed with the 'glitches' going on today, I am sure he/she will repost. Just saw this on CNN and knew a post would appear.

I couldn't help think the same thing, blank op and got a flag.
I guess ISIS+'threat of attack'= flag no matter what

Something just doesn't sound legit.

Isn't Syria a war zone?


Why would these guys bother with this sort of thing when their immediate concerns would seem to be in regards to dodging artillery, mortar and incoming RPGs among other battlefield festivities?

The same reason our troops ALWAYS grab whatever intel they can get their hands on, even in the middle of a firefight?

Intelligence gathering saves lives and wins battles.

While i was in Afghanistan we had standing orders to grab all computers, cellphones, sim cards, documents, anything we could find. Sometimes you grabbed it on the run, sometimes you grabbed it during post battle assessment, most times you got it during raids.

That is what happened to me, I hit the space and it posted nothing I had typed! It is rather frustrating.

Abu Ali, a commander of a moderate Syrian rebel group in northern Syria, proudly shows a black laptop partly covered in dust. "We took it this year from an ISIS hideout," he says.

So another case of terrorist leaving behind all their plans and details behind to be 'found'.
They can do all this planning and studying and figuring out how to use bio weapons, but when it comes to cya, they fail miserably...

ETA: They found it some time this year and just conveniently it is coming out a couple weeks before 9/11 and at the same time as the news about an attack at the border?

That's not what I meant.

Yes, grab whatever might give Intel, yes yes yes...

I'm talking about the 'bad guys'

Why bother with these sort of activities when they should be more involved in actual combat. Had this been found in some Western Hotel room then to me it would make more sense.

Yeah they found it this January, it is strange how they are just now mentioning it. Something big is up, we just have to piece the puzzle together before it happens.

"We found the laptop and the power cord in a room,"

Well that tells the whole story right there !!



Now why don't they say what kind of plug it had?

Was it a match for any particular country?

Hmmm.

I don't follow.
non conventional battle tactics are used by both sides of engagement

I guess I don't understand your question.

ISIS/ISIL/IS is a terrorist organization. The laptop has information pertaining to terror attacks in addition to the typical jihadist propaganda.

What's confusing about it?

And they just release pics of the content folders?

First I've seen this.

Gotta admit tho, if I really wanted my sheep to believe something...

Peace
