The terror group ISIS may have its sights set on Time Square.
The militants responsible for beheading two American journalists and a British aid worker put out a call for “lone wolf” attacks on the Crossroads of the World on one of its online chat rooms.
“Times Square is considered one of the most important and famous tourist attractions in the city,” the group said in an online message board.
The call to recruit “individual wolves in America” came with instructions on how to make rudimentary nail and pipe bombs that can be connected to batteries or timers.
The directions were a basic rehash of the steps outlined in Al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine, which also called on homegrown terrorists to destroy Times Square in its May edition.
NYPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said that ISIS — and its reach to the U.S. through social media — is a paramount concern.
