‘ISIS selfie’ at Met stirs NYPD probe
THE NYPD is investigating images of what appears to be ISIS supporters taking selfies outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art and in view of 1 World Trade Center.
The Met photo shows a masked and hooded man with an ISIS logo on his scarf, standing on a snow-covered sidewalk outside the Upper East Side museum. It began making the rounds on social media Saturday night, with the caption, “We are in your own Backyard,” said Eric Feinberg, co-founder of GIPEC, a cyber-intelligence firm.
“The NYPD is aware of the photograph. As with all terror-related threats, the NYPD is looking into the incident. At this time there are no credible threats related to New York City,” an NYPD spokesman said Tuesday.
