A British supporter of the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS) published the name and address of the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden, demanding that American extremists kill him.
The Mirror reported:
Mirror Online has been monitoring jihadi chat on social media and has spotted several people linking to a text file containing instructions on how to find Robert O’Neill, who claimed to have killed the al Qaeda chief. This information was shared by a British extremist claiming to be “Mrs Terror” Sally Jones, who dubbed O’Neill a “number one target” and called for his immediate death. The address is now being shared on social media along with a sinister hashtag.
“I leave this info of Robert O’Neill for my brothers in America and al Qaeda in the U.S, as a number one target to eventually hunt down and kill,” the British IS supporter wrote online.
She accused O’Neill of “traveling around America putting on seminars boasting about killing Sheikh Osama.”
Since, the Navy SEAL’s personal information has been shared by dozens of extremists online though social media firms and the website on which it was originally posted have attempted to censor the address.
The British extremist told the Mirror, “This is what he gets for not shutting his mouth about the operation.”
“There is more to come,” she added.
Meanwhile, Americans have rallied behind O’Neill, dubbing him a hero.

Following violations of Turkish airspace by Russian warplanes over the past few days, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that Moscow is putting its ties with Ankara at risk.

Erdogan also said that his country would not stay patient regarding future intrusions by Russia.

Rep. Randy Forbes (R., Va.), a prominent lawmaker on defense issues, criticized President Obama on Tuesday for threatening to veto a national defense bill and thus potentially delay several vital ship and aircraft programs for the U.S. military during a period of global instability.
Forbes, who is chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee in the House, said at the Heritage Foundation that Obama’s rejection of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would send a signal to American adversaries that the United States is not prepared to project power abroad and deter aggression. The national defense act, separate from the actual defense appropriations bill, authorizes numerous benefit and equipment programs for the military.
“[President Obama says] we’re going to be strong around the globe, but then says this: ‘I am going to veto the very bill that authorizes my military unless I can get what I want on the Internal Revenue Service, EPA,’ and all those other things,” Forbes said.
“The impact of vetoing that bill, which may very well happen within weeks, is we’ll lose three destroyers, two attack subs, three littoral combat ships, an amphibious ship, and we’ll delay the Air Force bomber program, and the Air Force tanker program. And you have to say, what kind of image is that putting around the globe?”
The Senate voted on Tuesday to end debate on the national defense bill, meaning the legislation could soon reach Obama’s desk. It remains unclear whether enough Democrats would join Republicans to override Obama’s veto, though Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has said they would not.
Obama has repeatedly threatened to veto the act because it leaves in place spending caps known as sequestration. While Republicans worked around the caps by adding money to a fund for fighting wars abroad, the president says domestic programs should also receive more funding.
Analysts say this year’s defense bill contains some of the most significant reforms to the Department of Defense in decades, including measures to cut the Pentagon bureaucracy and modify retirement benefits.
Postponing the procurement of new equipment, Forbes said, will have a real impact in areas such as the Asia-Pacific region. China has expanded its Coast Guard fleet by 25 percent in recent years and constructed about 3,000 acres of artificial islands in the South China Sea, sparking fears among U.S. allies that also have territorial claims in the region.
China primarily uses Coast Guard ships to patrol the South China Sea.
“They are only about 60 ships short in their Coast Guard of what we have in our Navy,” Forbes said. “And yet they have the strategic advantage because we don’t have a good strategy for coping with how they use their Coast Guard right now, because we don’t want to escalate by bringing more of our Naval ships.”
Obama’s failure to sign the defense bill will add to the global perception that America has withdrawn from the world, he said.
“I’ve never in my career had more world leaders, whether it’s the actual leader of the country or their ambassador or their defense minister, coming to visit me than I’ve had in the last two years,” he said. “And to the person, they send out their staff, which is not what they normally do, and they look at me and say we don’t have a clue what the American strategy is.”
