ISIS supporters have threatened to kill Twitter boss Jack Dorsey and his staff in revenge for the closure of thousands of jihadi accounts.
Extremists attacked the social media giant for "preventing the delivery of a holy mission to the world".
Twitter has attempted to silence ISIS supporters, but they keep resurfacing to issue threats including a vow to turn Buckingham Palace into a mosque.
In an open letter, zealots claiming to represent ISIS said Twitter employees were now marked for death.
A terrifying missive was posted along with an image of Dorsey inside a set of crosshairs.
"Your virtual war on the internet will earn you real wars on earth," Dorsey was warned.
"[Staff's] necks officially became a target for the soldiers of the Caliphate and supporters scattered among your midst," the murderous extremists continued.
"Imagine the scene: whilst outside of a pub in the neighbourhood, staff are loitering, reeling from sugar [alcohol] when a lion [ISIS killer] bounces him and cuts off his neck.
"Await this occurrence at any moment, at the earliest opportunity."
Twitter security staff are now examining the threats.
A spokeswoman said: “Our security team is investigating the veracity of these threats with relevant law enforcement officials.”
Twitter bans anyone who makes "direct, specific threats of violence against others".
It deletes ISIS supporters' videos and accounts, although social media jihadis often pop up again with slightly different names.
