A selfie slip-up let the US air force target and destroy an ISIL command post

t’s known that intelligence officers working for the US air force in Florida keep tabs on social media accounts and online forums where enemies dwell, and it seems those efforts can pay off—at least according to the story one man told his colleagues recently

Well done. Might as well have been a suicide bomber with a bad sense of timing.

I've been chuckling about this one all day. Not sure why we told anyone though.

Yeah. Genius of our leadership to get on stage and announce to the world how we did it. Now all they have to do is insert false metadata into their next selfie and we'll be bombing the wrong block.

Back to the drawing board boys.

This kind of stuff keeps me warm at night.
Well played, Air Force.
