ISIS forums encourage lone-wolf attacks on NYC, Las Vegas…share pipe-bomb instructions

Through their online forums ISIS is encouraging lone-wolf attacks around America, specifically New York City and Las Vegas. They even included pipe-bomb making instructions, something we won’t reproduce here:

VOCATIV – Members of ISIS forums are encouraging “lone wolf” bomb attacks in some of America’s most high-profile tourist locations: New York, Las Vegas and Texas.

A post in an ISIS message board, created three weeks ago and resurfaced in the last 24 hours with renewed urgency, includes a comprehensive guide to building pipe bombs using easily obtained materials like match heads, sugar and Christmas lights. Titled “To the Lone Wolves in America: How to Make a Bomb in Your Kitchen, to Create Scenes of Horror in Tourist Spots and Other Targets,” the post suggests attacking Times Square and Las Vegas in particular, but also says tourist sites in Texas and metro stations throughout the U.S. would make good targets.
