“We cannot and do not rule out the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization will take advantage of the current conflict to carry out attacks here on our soil,” the FBI director said.
THE Israel-Hamas war has raised the threat of attacks against Americans in the United States to “another level“, emphasizes FBI Director Christopher Wray.
“We appreciate that the actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration that we have not seen since (the Islamic State group) launched its so-called caliphate several years ago,” Wray told the Senate Homeland Security Committee. .
“We also cannot and do not rule out the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization will take advantage of the current conflict to carry out attacks here on our soil,” he noted.
The head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said the most significant threat was to the Jewish and Muslim communities in the United States.
“Our most immediate concern is that violent extremists, individuals or small groups, will draw inspiration from events in the Middle East and carry out attacks against Americans,” he noted.
“This includes not only domestic violent extremists who are inspired by a foreign terrorist organization but also domestic violent extremists who target Jewish or Muslim communities.”
