The Twitter and YouTube accounts of the military's U.S. Central Command were taken over Monday by hackers claiming to be working on behalf of Islamic State militants.

American and coalition fighters are launching airstrikes against the group known as ISIS, or Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Canada is participating in the mission in Iraq by conducting airstrikes and helping to train Iraqi soldiers.

The first message on the hacked Twitter account appeared around 12:30 p.m. ET. "American soldiers, we are coming, watch your back," read one message. Other postings appeared to list names and phone numbers of military personnel as well as PowerPoint slides and maps.
