The Guardian UK states that ‘In an Arabic post uploaded to the image-sharing site JustPaste.it, the group told Twitter that “your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you”. It warned that Jack Dorsey and Twitter employees have “become
a target for the soldiers of the Caliphate and supporters scattered
among your midst! You started this failed war … We told you from the
beginning it’s not your war, but you didn’t get it and kept closing our
accounts on Twitter, but we always come back. But when our lions come
and take your breath, you will never come back to life.”
In a statement to Buzzfeed.com a
Twitter spokesman said “our security team is investigating the veracity
of these threats with relevant law enforcement officials”.
