Hacktivist group Anonymous has come out to avenge the attacks on the office of Paris-based magazine Charlie Hebdo in which 12 people were murdered.

The Belgian 'branch' of Anonymous posted a video message to YouTube describing a new campaign against jihadists, called #OpCharlieHebdo.

The video, which features someone wearing the Guy Fawkes mask and speaking with their voice obscured, explains (in French) that its members have decided to "declare war on you, the terrorists" - referring to Al-Qaeda and ISIS specifically.

"We will track you down - every last one - and will kill you,” the spokesman says. "You allowed yourselves to kill innocent people, we will therefore avenge their deaths."

1. Request for information.

Does anyone know if this is considered a reasonable anonymous declaration? I have a fringy awareness of anonymous. I was not aware of them ever previously specifically declaring war. I had thot of them as using social pressure, not guns. Just curious. thanks.

4. Not sure to be honest.

I'm assuming that their networks could be hacked and info 'leaked' to drone pilots, special forces etc...
Or their refinery, bank accounts, weapon suppliers could all be vulnerable to exposure and disruption.
ISIS and Al-Qaeda could be turned against each other...

Just my take.

8. That's just what they count on: your fringy awareness.

I don't like the death threat part.
