NEW YORK, April 29 (UPI) -- Some 3,000 New York City-area residents, most of them private citizens with no government ties, were targeted in an Islamic State "hit list," law enforcement said.
The list, intended as a threat, contains as many as 3,600 names. It includes some employees with the State Department and Homeland Security, but mostly contains personal information from private citizens. It was posted on site accessible to only IS supporters and is being considered a scare campaign from the IS-related group Caliphate Cyber United.
