Report: FBI Neglects to Inform Americans They Were on ISIS ‘Kill Lists’

The FBI reportedly failed to notify hundreds of Americans that their names had appeared on ISIS “kill lists” posted online, according to a recent report.

Circa News reports that ISIS has post various lists on encrypted websites that contain the names of over 15,000 Americans living in New York, Texas, Florida and California that are suggested as potential targets for sleeper cells or “lone wolf” attackers.  According to the report the lists are not public, but the news outlet obtained copies and began contacting people to see if they were aware they were on the lists.  In Texas, 22 of the 24 people they contacted had not previously been told by authorities that they were listed.

One woman whose name appeared on the list agreed to an interview using the name “Amelia” to protect her identity.

“I had no idea I was on an ISIS hit list until you called me,” Amelia told the news outlet.
