The Site Monitoring Service, a private intelligence organization that watches online activity, said Wednesday that the threat was posted a day earlier on the Shumuka Al Islam forum, a popular internet destination for radical Muslims. The contributor, who identified himself as Umar AL Basrawi, was reacting to what he said Letterman did after the US military announced on June 5 that a drone strike in Pakistan had killed Al Qaeda leader Ilyas Kashmiri. Al Basrawi wrote that Letterman had made reference to both Osama Bin Laden and Kashmiri and said that Letterman had “put his hand on his neck and demonstrated the way of slaughter.” For more on this please see: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8707955/David-Letterman-threatened-by-jihadist-website.html
