(Scypre.com) – The head of the FBI, Christopher Wray, said that the danger of terrorist attacks in the United States is higher than ever since an attack in Israel on October 7th. He talked about this at a meeting with senators, and Senator Lindsey Graham asked him about the current threat.
Wray explained, “I’ve been working for a long time, and I’ve never seen a situation where so many threats are all high at the same time.” Graham compared it to the time before the 9/11 attacks, and Wray agreed, saying, “I see blinking red lights everywhere.”
Wray mentioned that after the attack in Israel on October 7th, many foreign terrorists have called for attacks in the U.S. He said, “The threat level has gone to a whole new level since Oct. 7.”
In October, the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, said that threats against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities in the U.S. increased after the Israel-Hamas war started.
Even attacks on U.S. military bases overseas have gone up. The Pentagon confirmed at least 74 attacks on U.S. troops in the Middle East since October 17th. These attacks are connected to the U.S. supporting Israel against the group Hamas.
Back in the U.S., the FBI and Las Vegas police stopped a teenager who planned a terror attack. The 16-year-old supported ISIS and had materials to build a bomb. He was arrested after announcing his plan online.
