IS social media backfires for ‘moron’

IS fighters have frightened parents and pundits around the world with their highly effective use of social media to spread propaganda.

However, it seems not all IS fighters are social media experts. Military.com reports that US Air Force General Hawk Carlisle, who is the head of Air Combat Command, described in a speech this week an event where social media spelled disaster for IS.

An IS “moron” probably wanted to intimidate the world with his group’s capabilities. Instead he caught the attention of airmen and intelligence officers stationed in Florida, and soon they were raining bombs onto him and his colleagues.
