The New York Daily News is following Anonymous' example and labelling Isis 'Daesh bags'

The New York Daily News front page leads on the death of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the individual suspected of planning the Paris attacks, with the headline "SMILE IN HELL, DAESH BAG!".

It's exactly what we'd expect from... the ever-flamboyant publication.

However, they cannot take credit for the pun "Daesh bag", a meme which has been largely populated by the hacker group Anonymous on various forums.

Daesh is an adapted acronym of Isis' name in Arabic - Dawlat al-Islamiyah f'al-Iraq w Belaad al-Sham - and is similar to another Arabic word - das - which means 'to trample down' or 'crush'.

A quick Topsy search shows us the popularity of the phrase has been rising in recent days following the recent attacks by Isis in Paris, Beirut and Baghdad.

The hacker group claimed on Tuesday to have taken out 5,500 Twitter accounts linked to Isis.

One day after the launch of the #OpParis campaign, the group posted the accounts it claimed to have disabled to an online forum, labelling them as #daeshbags.

Isis has responded via a message posted on Telegram, which called on affiliated members of the terror group to secure their internet connections.

The #Anonymous hackers threatened... that they will carry out a major hack operation on the Islamic state (idiots).

Anonymous has been campaigning against Isis for months, but has renewed efforts since the attack in Paris, Beirut and Baghdad last week.
