Islamic State supporters are calling on lone-wolf attacks in areas where law enforcement is distracted by unrest in the wake of the Ferguson grand jury decision, HSToday.com reports.

The supporters are using social media to spread the message.

In one tweet, Al Nusra Al Maqdisiyya, a popular group of pro-ISIS activists, wrote “O lone mujahid, you must use the breakdown of security in #Ferguson to increase the burning in America. They are squabbling over worldly [matters], so you send them to hell! #ISIS.”

Another tweet from ISIS supporters read, “O supporters of the Islamic State in America, what is happening in #Ferguson is a valuable opportunity that will not return. Rise up and engage them with themselves, away from the mujahideen. Spill their blood in the roads and in the neighborhoods.”

Law enforcement agencies are sharing the information to help avoid an ambush.
