American Jews Appear on Islamic State "Kill List"
(JTA) In the wake of the July 3 release of an Islamic State "kill list" that included members of synagogues and churches among 1,700 individuals, some 200 Jewish leaders joined a U.S. Department of Homeland Security conference call briefing on Friday organized by the Secure Community Network (SCN), the security arm of the national Jewish community. "The lists appear to be directed toward 'lone wolf' ISIL supporters who may be inspired to carry out attacks," SCN said. SCN is affiliated with the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
