HACKED: The US military Twitter feed was compromised hours after it was launched.

NEW YORK: The Twitter and YouTube accounts for the US military command that oversees operations in the Middle East were hacked by people claiming to be sympathetic toward the Islamic State militant group being targeted in American bombing raids.

"American soldiers, we are coming, watch your back, ISIS," the hackers posted on the US Central Command Twitter feed, using an acronym for the militant group, which has taken control of parts of Syria and Iraq.
