Anonymous 'declares war' on Islamic State militants

Hacking group Anonymous has posted a video warning terrorists belonging to the so-called Islamic State militant group that they will "hunt them down."

Speaking in French from behind the signature Guy Fawkes mask, a spokesman said: "War is declared."

Yesterday the group posted a list containing more than 1,000 account details to a text-sharing site, with the message: "ISIS Supporters and Militants. We Are Anonymous. We Do Not Forgive. We Do Not Forget. Expect us!"
