    A request for Twitter to help stop terror in a bipartisan letter coming out of Congress.

    FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern has more from the Capitol:

    Twitter has already shut down about 2,000 accounts linked to ISIS supporters, but analysis from the Brookings Institution suggests as many as 46,000 active accounts.

    Senior members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee are urging the social-media giant to do more to combat terrorist propaganda and treat ISIS content the same way as other objectionable content.

    Committee Chairman Ed Royce warns ISIS is creating a virtual caliphate Ranking Democrat Eliot Engel says Twitter can and must do more to stop groups like ISIS from recruiting online.
