Washington D.C residents were left on edge after an internal police alert about four Middle Eastern-looking men ‘acting suspiciously’ in the Pentagon metro station was leaked just two days after ISIS announced the capital was their next target.
Emily Miller from FOX 5 shared the BOLO warning onTwitter after receiving it from a source on Wednesday.
Under the poster she wrote: ‘This is scary: Be On The Lookout alert for these men on DC metro at Pentagon.’
She also noted that the men were wearing heavy coats, even though it was ‘warm’ on Sunday when they were spotted on surveillance cameras.
According to the alert, Metro Transit Police was requesting assistance in efforts ‘to identify the above pictured individuals in reference to suspicious activity observed at the station.
However they would not elaborate on what happened.
Miller said the source sent her the warning poster because the insider believed it should have been made public, considering the threats from the militants.
