MEANS AND METHODS OF THE ENTERPRISE
8. Among the means and methods employed by I S I S ' s members
and a s s o c i a t e s i n conducting and p a r t i c i p a t i n g i n the conduct of
the E n t e r p r i s e ' s a f f a i r s are the fol l o w i n g :
a. I S I S members and ass o c i a t e s s o l i c i t , organize,
and c a r r y out acts of v i o l e n c e , i n t i m i d a t i o n , and t h r e a t s ,
i n c l u d i n g murders, s u i c i d e bombings, and kidnappings, and
s o l i c i t and cause others to do so, with the i n t e n t to e s t a b l i s h
a global I s l a m i c s t a t e .
b. I S I S members and ass o c i a t e s make and disseminate
r e c r u i t i n g m a t e r i a l s and propaganda encouraging others to j o i n
I S I S and pe r s o n a l l y p a r t i c i p a t e i n acts of v i o l e n c e , i n c l u d i n g
i n s u i c i d e a t t a c k s , m a t e r i a l s which are d i s t r i b u t e d over the
I n t e r n e t to increase and f u r t h e r the p u b l i c perception of I S I S
as a t e r r o r i s t o rganization. These m a t e r i a l s include propaganda
designed to encourage I S I S f o l l o w e r s to commit ac t s of viole n c e
using v e h i c l e s as weapons. For example, the J u l y 2016 i s s u e of
Dabiq, I S I S ' s t h e n - o f f i c i a l magazine, p r a i s e d the "brother" who
answered "the I s l a m i c S t a t e ' s c a l l s to t a r g e t nations
p a r t i c i p a t i n g i n the Crusader c o a l i t i o n f i g h t i n g the Caliph a t e "
by " k i l l i n g more than 8 0 people and i n j u r i n g more than 300

name of i t s o f f i c i a l magazine from Dabiq to Rumiyah. I n
November 2016, I S I S r e l e a s e d Rumiyah, Issue 3, which has an
a r t i c l e t i t l e d " J u s t T e r r o r T a c t i c s , " which again focused on a
v e h i c l e a t t a c k as a primary a t t a c k weapon with a secondary
a t t a c k using a k n i f e or gun to maximize the " k i l l count" and
t e r r o r .
c. I S I S members and as s o c i a t e s make and disseminate
r e c r u i t i n g m a t e r i a l s and propaganda encouraging others who are
unable to t r a v e l to the Middle East to in s t e a d conduct a t t a c k s
i n other countries. For example, on or about March 31, 2015,
the user of T w i t t e r account @AbuHu55ain_, bel i e v e d to be used a t
the time by an I S I S member located i n S y r i a , tweeted: "Lone
Wolfs R i s e Dp"; " I f you can't make the h i j r a h [ i . e . , t r a v e l to
the Middle E a s t ] , dont s i t at home & give up . . . i g n i t e a
bomb, stab a k a f f i r [ i . e . , the d i s b e l i e v e r s or non-Muslims], or
shoot a p o l i t i c a n ! " ; " i f you came here, you'd be on the

f i g h t the k u f f a r over t h e r e ? " ; and " i always see i n the media
brothers g e t t i n g caught making h i j r a h , brothers know th a t your
j i h a d i s not over j u s t because you got stopped."
d. I S I S members and as s o c i a t e s make and have made
p u b l i c statements and is s u e d p u b l i c d e c l a r a t i o n s , which, among
other things: ( i ) proclaimed and acknowledged a c t s of v i o l e n c e
