The USAF found and flattened
an ISIL base because of selfies

According to Air Force Gen. Hawk
Carlisle, a USAF intelligence team with the 361st ISR (Intelligence,
Surveillance and Reconnaissance)
Group in Hurlburt Field, FL, uncovered a meaty piece of intel during their
routine sweeps of Islamic State-
related social media accounts.

Apparently someone took a selfie
outside of a headquarters building
and posted it online. Guess what happened next (you read the
headline, right?).

As Gen. Carlisle explained to Defense Tech:
The guys that were
working down out of
Hurlburt, they're
combing through social
media and they see
some moron standing at this command. And
in some social media,
open forum, bragging
about the command
and control capabilities
for Daesh, ISIL. And these guys go: 'We got
an in.' So they do some
work, long story short,
about 22 hours later
through that very
building, three JDAMs [Joint Direct Attack
Munitions] take that
entire building out.

The USAF hasn't released many other
details and is specifically keeping the
location of the former HQ under
wraps. Bottom line, don't post
pictures of your secret base in public
forums because someone with airstrike capabilities could be
reading.
