Although it is unclear whether the WH knew about the Chattanooga shooting when Obama released his Ramadan statement, it could not have come at a worse time.

And, in another incident of bad timing, ISIS tweeted a warning to the U.S., minutes before the Chattanooga massacre began.

Via Newsmax:

As authorities investigate a deadly attack in Tennessee as a potential case of terrorism, which occurred on the heels of several attacks across the globe in recent weeks, President Barack Obama issued a statement Thursday wishing Muslims a happy Ramadan….

The Islamic State (ISIS) has made several calls for its followers to launch terror attacks during Ramadan, and members of the U.S. military and law enforcement have also been singled out as potential targets.

A Tweet from an ISIS-linked Twitter account, meanwhile, seemed to give warning to Thursday’s attacks, mentioning Chattanooga. The time stamp of the Tweet was 10:34 a.m. Thursday; the shooting began at about 10:50 a.m….

It’s not clear what time Thursday the aforementioned White House statement was released, but Obama wished Muslims in the United States and across the world “joy” as Ramadan comes to a close.

“Michelle and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr,” the statement reads. “As Muslims mark the end of the month, they are reminded that Ramadan is a time to reflect spiritually, build communally, and aid those in need. While Eid marks the end of Ramadan, it marks a new beginning for each individual — a reason to celebrate and express gratitude on this holiday.”
