Trying their best to hold back the raging volcano next door. One hopes ISIS manages to fall apart before Lebanon is also overcome.

#3  It's not just that intelligence personnel can expose themselves on social media. The existence of social media can serve as a useful source of intelligence for terrorists. A very casual takfiri supporter, a disgruntled relative, etc., in Saudi Arabia can feed info to anti-government forces through social media without risking much.

in the absence of the Sword of Justice, terror rules.

The first target of terror is the police. Thus ISIS hits station houses and police academies first. Veteran defense reporter Bill Gertz says that ISIS is beginning to soften up Saudi Arabia by killing its intelligence personnel. “The ultra-violent al Qaeda offshoot group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) has targeted Saudi Arabian intelligence officers for a campaign of assassination as part of plans by the group to expand activities inside the oil-rich kingdom.”

ISIS is employing social media — ‘crowdsourcing’ — to identify Saudi agents. They’ve even got an Android app just for the purpose. ”U.S. intelligence agencies monitoring ISIL’s social media communications identified the campaign as a crowd-sourced effort to gather names and other personal information about Saudi intelligence officials for the assassination campaign.”
