The official Twitter account of the extremist terrorist organization Islamic State (also known as IS or ISIS) posted various terror plans online on February 23, threatening attacks on major global cities, including an image showing Taipei’s iconic Taipei 101 under attack, which has sparked tension and drawn attention from travelers.

Taipei 101 is one of the must-visit attractions for foreign tourists in Taipei. Its upper floors house not only an observation deck but also restaurants. The area around Taipei 101 is a bustling commercial district that attracts large crowds. As the former tallest building in the world, Taipei 101 is a symbolic landmark representing Taiwan and Taipei. This recent IS threat to attack Taipei 101 has raised tensions and prompted relevant government agencies to closely review national security and emergency medical response measures.

Although the intent behind IS releasing this image remains unconfirmed, visitors to Taipei 101 should remain vigilant for suspicious individuals and pay attention to their personal safety.

Taipei 101 101 little sheep — very fitting for the occasion!
