Numerous Americans who were placed on secret ISIS kill lists were never notified by the FBI, nor were the local police alerted, Circa reveals.
The ISIS hit lists have been posted on encrypted websites, identifying more than 15,000 people who should be killed by sleeper cells or lone wolves in Florida, California, Texas and New York.
Circa made the discovery by obtaining copies of some of the lists and contact people who are targets.
In Texas, Circa discovered that 22 out of 24 people sampled were never notified they were on an ISIS kill list.
“I was terrified. We live in a different world and the Jewish community is a number one target of these radicals,” said a woman in Austin who found out from Circa that she and several of her friends in the Jewish community were on a list. The woman agreed to be interviewed only on condition of anonymity, fearing using her name would only increase her risk.
“I’m very upset that I was not notified by the FBI or local law enforcement,” she said.
The FBI has said its agents have intended to alert all Americans threatened by ISIS and notify the local police departments.
The FBI acknowledged some names may have been missed, but insists most people were alerted.
“The FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of potential threat information. We perform these notifications so potential victims are aware of possible threats and take appropriate steps,” the bureau said. “Those measures may include paying close attention to your surroundings at all times, protecting personally identifiable information, and immediately calling the local authorities if you observe something suspicious. The FBI will continue to work closely with federal, state, and local partners to keep the public informed of potential threats.”
