The former deputy director of the CIA fears that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria could carry out attacks in the United States.
CBS News national security analyst Mike Morell told CBS This Morning Thursday that this terror group poses both short- and long-term threats to the U.S.
The short-term concern is the Americans that have gone to fight with ISIS and the west Europeans that have gone to fight with ISIS could be trained and directed by ISIS to come to the United States to conduct small-scale attacks, Morell stated. If an ISIS member showed up at a mall in the United States tomorrow with an AK-47 and killed a number of Americans, I would not be surprised.
Morell warned that over the long-term the extremist group could be planning for a 9/11-style attack that killed thousands of Americans.

I know- there is no need for anyone to own an AR-15 that fires 13.4 rounds per second!...780 rounds in a minute...66 rounds per second, the numbers are purely made up and the perp may Allah spit on him didn’t even use an AR!
A July 4 event in a disarmed liberal city.
I Worked in NYC from 1999 to 2007. There are so many soft targets there that it’s simply impossible to defend them. The locations (which I won’t name) would provide 200-300 casualties with minimal chance of failure. Much, much more if a two prong (or more) attack was coordinated
“Trump started insulted Muslims, then they got mad and decided to terrorize America.
Thats what passes for rational thought in the presidents brain.”
In fact, Trump is why the 9/11 terrorists attacked NYC. Give it time, they’ll eventually find a reason why this is true.
Why is this in breaking news? I understand it’s relevant, but considering it is almost 2 years old - ‘Extended News’ is probably more appropriate.
I clicked Extended News. In about 17 years on FR, I’ve only posted Breaking once. Ever. So somebody promoted it, I think.
Thank you for the post!
I do worry about that.
Amazing that Morrell could figure that out FIVE YEARS after Nidal Hasan shot up 13 people and an unborn child at Ft Hood ... in 2009.
Can’t slip anything past him...

That is the plan.
There are 100s of terrorist cells already here, but the Mateen guy was a dissed queer taking it out on his fellow perverts.
