(ANSA) - Rome, March 2 - Islamic State (ISIS) fundamentalist
militia has issued an online threat online against Twitter
co-founder Jack Dorsey, picturing him in the crosshairs of a
gunsight, ANSA sources said Monday.
The threat in Arabic posted alongside the photo encourages
jihadists to target Twitter and its employees.
The online social network in recent months has shut down
accounts used by Islamic extremists and their supporters, and is
currently working with law enforcement to verify this threat
against the company.
Also on Monday, Iraqi forces launched a military campaign
to retake the Iraqi city of Tikrit - the hometown of late
dictator Saddam Hussein - which is currently under ISIS control.
