October 31, 2014
ISIS is plotting online to kill Western civilians with EBOLA and poisoned needles, Spanish security chief warns
Francisco Martinez said Spain is taking threats made online seriously
Claimed ISIS supporters have been discussing using Ebola in attacks
Militants also said to be plotting to use other deadly toxins and viruses
ISIS spokesman has also used the internet to encourage would-be jihadis
Suggested supporters carry out lone wolf attacks using poisoned needles.
ISIS is urging supporters in the West to kill civilians by any means possible - including using Ebola as a chemical weapon and stabbing people with poisoned needles, a senior Spanish politician claims.
Francisco Martinez, Spain's state secretary for security, said he is taking the threats seriously after uncovering conversations in which jihadis discuss carrying out so-called 'lone wolf' attacks.
Speaking before lawmakers in parliament yesterday, Mr Martinez said would-be militants are using chat rooms to explore the best ways to carry out terror attacks, adding that the conversations prove ISIS considers the internet to be 'an extension of the battlefield'.
