McCaul: Swift Act of Justice Against ISIS's Top Cyber Jihadist

Statement

Junaid Hussain, a British-born ISIS hacker and operative, was killed following a U.S. air strike in Syria, according to U.S. officials. Hussain was a leading cyber Jihadist and a high-value target within ISIS.

"This is a serious blow to ISIS and a swift act of justice against a top cyber jihadist and recruiter. The strike sends an unmistakable message to the terror group's ranks: plot against us-even on social media, and we will find you. I applaud our military, intelligence community and counterterrorism professionals for this success, but this will not be the end of ISIS's deadly online campaigns. We need to maintain vigilance-and good intelligence-to stop future plotting, and ultimately we must destroy the group's terrorist sanctuary."
