The FBI is looking into a call that was made to a Birmingham radio talk show on Wednesday in which the caller claimed terrorists with the ISIS, or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, were arrested in Marshall County.

According to Albertville Police, the caller claimed the terrorists were arrested in the town of Douglas and had a layout of Albertville High School when they were found.
