FISHERS, Ind. -- The FBI notified a person in Fishers on Friday they may be on a list of potential ISIS targets.
Sgt. Tom Weger with Fishers police told RTV6 that police know about the FBI's visit, but little else, at least that they can reveal to the public. "We are aware that (FBI) agents contacted one person about a threat. Obviously, any other information, including the nature of the threat, would have to come from the FBI," Weger said.
The FBI did not reveal the residents' identity or the area in the city, nor did they disclose the specific nature of the threat. They did release this statement:
"The FBI routinely notifies individuals and organizations of potential threat information. We perform these notifications so potential victims are aware of possible threats and take appropriate steps. Those measures may include paying close attention to your surroundings at all times, protecting personally identifiable information, and immediately calling the local authorities if you observe something suspicious. The FBI will continue to work closely with federal, state, and local partners to keep the public informed of potential threats."
Just days ago, 18-year-old Akram Masleh, of Brownsburg, was arrested on federal terrorism charges for his involvement in conversations online about planning an attack with ISIS.
