ISIS, Qaida using Facebook to buy and sell weapons: Report
Terror groups active in Syria are using social media sites like Facebook to buy and sell weapons, guns and ammunition, according to UK media reports. Islamic State and al-Qaida terrorists could potentially also use Facebook to buy an anti-aircraft rocket launcher capable of blowing a passenger jet, Daily Mirror reported on Thursday.
Terror groups active in Syria are using social media sites like Facebook to buy and sell weapons, guns and ammunition, according to UK media reports. Islamic State and al-Qaida terrorists could potentially also use Facebook to buy an anti-aircraft rocket launcher capable of blowing a passenger jet, Daily Mirror reported on Thursday.
One of the weapons for sale is a MANPADs, or man-portable air defence systems, a type of missile launcher capable of bringing down both civilian and military jets. It is being sold for $67,000 on the page.
`The First Weapons Market in Idlib (Syria) Countryside'.Although the sellers are Syrian rebels, the nature of the conflict in the war zone means the weapon could easily fall into IS hands. One post shows an AGS-17 Soviet-era grenade launcher available for $3,800, with one message reading, “Quick friends, I need a gun with a silencer.“ The page also hosts an advert for a TOW missile launcher, which the seller claims comes from “The US Pentagon."
