if it is a strong connection to IS.”
8 normal Australians have been covered on the ‘hit list’,
with terror institution figures encouraging them to be killed on sight.
The list — seemingly compiled from hacked US authorities
files — functions the names, e mail addresses, telephone numbers, home suburbs
and passwords of more than a hundred Western targets.

and local Victoria. They seem along group of workers from NASA and the FBI.

weren’t “widespread goals” IS had in the beyond threatened to attack random
individuals of the public.
“we've got seen threats of random targets before, in Martin

government connections — and it's miles a legitimate hack — then that could be
a challenge.”

been aligned with IS.
