The FBI issued a strong warning Sunday that ISIS and other terrorist groups want to target military members where they live in the U.S., ABC News reports.

The FBI and Homeland Security issued a join intelligence bulletin, urging military members to remove anything from their social media accounts that would bring attention to extremists or reveal their identities

“The FBI and DHS recommend that current and former members of the military review their online social media accounts for any information that might serve to attract the attention of ISIL [ISIS] and its supporters,” the federal bulletin sent to law enforcement agencies said, advising that troops “routinely exercise operational security in their interactions online.”

The FBI said fresh intelligence suggests that ISIS wants to encourage sympathizers to attack American military members in the U.S.

“The FBI recently received reporting indicating individuals overseas are spotting and assessing like-minded individuals who are willing and capable of conducting attacks against current and former U.S.-based members of the United States military,” the bulletin said.
