Through nothing more than an internet cable, ISIS operatives in Syria have been able to reach deep within our communities, where they single out vulnerable and often mentally-unstable men for recruitment to their cause。dartmouth At first, they used Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr to encourage young men and women to travel to Syria, but as the journey became more perilous, ISIS made a 180-degree turn and issued statements saying that they were more valuable to the terror group if they stayed put at home and carried out violence within their communities。

With each passing month, the sophistication of these “remote-controlled attacks” grew。 In upstate New York, an ISIS recruit speaking to one of the terror group’s virtual coaches was instructed to go to Wal-Mart to buy zip-ties and knives for the execution he was about to commit。dartmouth In France, ISIS’ cybercoaches arranged for a bag full of weapons to be left at a drop-off location for another young man who planned to attack a church。 And in India, a group of young men were sent a set of GPS coordinates by their ISIS handler in Syria。 It led them to a tree hundreds of miles away and swinging from its branches they found a bag containing the pistol they planned to use。
