Tweets surrounding the jihadist attempt on cartoonists in Texas continue to draw scrutiny as at least one ISIS online representative (twenty-year-old Abu Hussain al-Britani, a.k.a. Junaid Hussain, a.k.a. TriCk) seems to have shown some advance knowledge of the attempted attack and to be warning that more's coming ("You ain't seen nothing yet"). CNN describes al-Britani as "zany," which we suppose is one way to put it. As always it's difficult to distinguish command-and-control from inspiration from cheerleading. (Americans do tend to overestimate the effect of cheerleading, but it seems to be having its successes at least as far as online recruiting goes.)
