The FBI has issued a warning to U.S. churches to be vigilant for threats coming from Islamic State sympathizers after the terror group called for attacks around Christmas.
The FBI warning has expanded from those in the past that warned against attacks against military and law enforcement targets, saying that terror groups “continue aspirational calls for attacks on holiday gatherings, including targeting churches.”
The warning came after “terror chatter” increased over the last few days and ISIS released a list of U.S. churches to target in order to terrorize Christians.
There were some reports that ISIS was calling for revenge for the police shooting and killing of Anis Amri, the Tunisian immigrant that committed the horrible Berlin Christmas market truck attack. The terror group claimed responsibility for the attack and called the perpetrator “a soldier of the Islamic State.”
