ISIS has threatened Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and his employees after the site removed accounts linked to the extremists.
Twitter confirmed to Daily Mail Online that the company was working with authorities to verify the seriousness of the threat which claimed employees' necks are 'a target for the soldiers of the Caliphate'.
The chilling warning, written in Arabic, featured a picture of Dorsey in a gun's cross-hairs and the Twitter logo. It was posted on Sunday on an anonymous site based in Poland which is used by programmers to share code.

The alleged threat, first reported by Buzzfeed, mentioned Dorsey and included the words: 'We always come back.'
In a statement to Daily Mail Online, a Twitter spokesperson said on Monday: 'Our security team is investigating the veracity of these threats with relevant law enforcement officials.'
When entered into Google translate (which does not provide an exact translation) the message is titled: 'Tweets in response to a campaign to delete accounts.'
It goes on: 'You started this failed war'. The message then appears to address Dorsey directly and Twitter employees.
