Threat of Terrorist Attack Against US Has Reached a ‘Whole ‘Nother Level,’ FBI Director Tells Congress

in news •  10 months ago 

"Foreign terrorists are more likely to attack the United States, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

“In a year where the terrorism threat was already elevated, the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole ‘nother level,” Wray said.

“Since October 7th, we’ve seen a rogue’s gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies,” Wray told the House Homeland Security Committee during a Wednesday hearing on Capitol Hill.

Since Hamas’ attack on Israel last month, in which terrorists killed 1,400 Israelis and took 240 people hostage, Wray noted that Hezbollah has expressed support for Hamas and has made threats against U.S. interests in the Middle East.

“Al-Qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the United States in the past five years,” Wray said, adding that “al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula called on jihadists to attack Americans and Jewish people everywhere.”"
