Anonymous believes there are ISIS in Georgia, claiming that ISIS’ Atlanta attack will occur on Sunday during the live showing of the WWE Survivor Series 2015 event. The FBI is seriously looking into all potential ISIS threats, but so far, the WWE Pay Per View is continuing as planned. That is not to say no one is worried, since a fireworks explosion caused some consternation.

Fears over an attack by ISIS in America have abounded since the Paris attacks. Last year, the Fusion Intelligence Center in Charleston claimed it was possible that ISIS terrorists may already be in West Virginia. Only several months ago, an American ISIS supporter literally left signs proclaiming their support for the terrorist organization.

The Anonymous hackers declared war on ISIS with their “OpParisIntell” hacking attack. They claim to have discovered that ISIS plans on attacking America in eight cities or events today, November 22. Included among these planned events was ISIS’ Atlanta attack.

So far, none of these cities have reported any sign of a terrorist attack in America. According to 11 Alive, the FBI released a statement saying they were watching these reports and have increased security near the live WWE Survivor Series 2015 event.

“Federal, state and local law enforcement authorities have confirmed there is no specific or credible information involving a threat against tomorrow’s WWE Survivor Series at Philips Arena. However, WWE and Philips Arena have coordinated with the appropriate agencies and law enforcement, and significantly increased security measures to ensure the safety of all those in attendance, which is our highest priority. Doors will open at 6 p.m. to help fans avoid any delays in entering the arena due to the precautionary security procedures put in place. Additionally, fans are encouraged to take public transportation (MARTA) to the event and are advised that bags will not be permitted in the arena.”

WWE Survivor Series 2015 is happening as we speak, and so far, no one has reported any issues. Some fans have taken to Twitter to mock ISIS’ Atlanta attack plans.

“I think here in the United States, we tend to over-blow threats,” WWE fan Moustafa Hassoun said.

Although many WWE fans are not taking the possibility of an Atlanta attack very seriously at this point, there is the real possibility that members of ISIS in Georgia do exist.

“There’s definitely individuals in Georgia that we have cases on and that we are concerned about,” explained FBI special agent Britt Johnson, who is in charge of the Atlanta Field Office. “Individuals who likely have been listening to the propaganda and have become self-radicalized and are showing indicators that are concerning.”

Local residents are understandably jumpy. Macy’s apparently moved up its traditional Lenox Square mall Christmas tree lighting ceremony to today and the firework explosions startled some.

Fans attending the WWE Survivor Series event are also concerned that ISIS’ Atlanta attack could strike at any moment.

“I do take this seriously,” Hallie Mather said. “I think if the FBI is concerned about it then it’s something we should be concerned about.”
