ABC News is reporting that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have circulated a bulletin to law enforcement about a 40 person "hit list" posted to jihadi web site website Ansar al-Mujahideen.

According to ABC, the list targets "a member of Congress, Pentagon officials, a conservative pundit, executives of an American company involved in the production of drone aircraft, and two prominent French executives" and also "includes photographs of the targets and biographical information." ABC says the list emerged "after one poster highlighted Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadahn's call in a June 3 message for lone wolf attacks on American public figures and corporate institutions."
