Missouri Woman Arrested for Threatening FBI Agents, Others on ISIS-Linked Social Media

Via KY3, here's a sample of the threats mentioned in the FBI agent's affidavit:

"On August 24, 2015, and under the banner 'We are the hackers of the Islamic State,' Yassin retweeted the personal identifiable information of two Federal Bureau of Investigation agents with the statement 'Wanted to kill,'" according to an FBI agent in a court document.  "Numerous other tweets and retweets posted by Yassin . . . include: (a) a link containing photographs, addresses, other contact information, and even credit card information of United States Army, Navy and State Department employees (1 29); (b) a Tweet that a media personality "would be better off without her head" (l) 33); and, (c) a link in a retweet that lists the town of residence and phone number for approximately 150 United States Air Force personnel with the following quote: 'Rejoice, O supporters of the Caliphate State, with the dissemination of the information to be delivered to lone wolves,' God said: 'And slay them wherever you may come upon them.'"

One of the threatening tweets detailed in the FBI agent's affidavit depicted President Obama.

"On or about July 29, 2015, Twitter account 3276959443 . . . posted a photo along with the text '#Soon.' The photo is an altered version of a popular photo. The original photo comes from the film 'North By Northwest' and depicted Cary Grant running in a field from an airplane. The version in the tweet had replaced Cary Grant's face with President Obama's face and had replaced the airplane with a military drone. As altered, the image depicts President Obama running from a drone strike."

Yassin will remain in federal custody until her hearing, which is scheduled for Feb. 23 at 3 p.m.
