U.S. investigators are becoming overwhelmed trying to keep up with the social media barrage by U.S.-based supporters of the Islamic State -- with the latest information suggesting "US military bases, locations, and events could be targeted in the near-term."
The warning comes in a new, six-page bulletin obtained exclusively by Fox News. It warns law enforcement and specifically military personnel to be vigilant during upcoming national holidays and military events due to the "heightened threat of attacks by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)."
Sent one day before the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the joint bulletin -- from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security and National Counterterrorism Center -- advised there is no "credible" threat information targeting events on U.S. federal holidays. But it said, "we are aware of recent information suggesting US military bases, locations, and events could be targeted in the near-term."
While the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have given generic warnings in the past, this bulletin spelled out the heightened chatter and advised precautions that should be taken. The list of "observable behaviors" also points to so-called insider threats, and warns about individuals asking "unusual questions" about building maintenance or security procedures.
Importantly, it speaks to the sheer volume of social media activity by pro-ISIS users, and the challenge that poses for analysts and investigators.

Obama will certainly ululate when he hears this.
As long as we aren’t allowed to publicly criticize Islam, this is the way it’s going to be.
Didn’t Obama have the world’s most savy tech social media types in 08 and 12?
They probably got jobs with ISIS.
Has the State Department scrambled the Emergency Hashtag Response Team?

So they’re saying there’s thousands of supporters of ISIS in USA??? I’m speechless!
Paid_ISIS_Troll?
Of course, we would NEVER employ such tactics against ISIS, because it’d be racist or something.
Why is this a problem??? Fedzilla tracked each and every domestic terrorist (aka conservatives) for six years...
Many Democrats support ISIS. ISIS supports the destruction of Iraq and the work Bush did in Iraq. ISIS and Democrats would like to see all of Bush’s legacies wiped out.
Surely the feds know where these servers are.
No knock raid, grab the servers and deport everybody they find there back to Muzzieville.
Well then, it just might be a good idea to let the military carry sidearms while on base.
Upside #1: It might dissuade radicals from attacking in the first place.
Upside #2: It might end an attack earlier, with less casualties.
Downside: I really can't think of any.
Why are these people still breathing?
It should be relatively easy to find most anybody posting support for ISIS, bring them to trial, and then hang them.
Didn't think it was possible to say anything funny about this, but you did. LOL
But this past weekend Nancy Pelosi said we’ve achieved great things against ISIS on the social-media-war front...
