FBI Director Warns Terrorist Organizations Call for Attacks Against the US | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

There was a stark warning from FBI Director Christopher Wray testifying before Congress. He says in the past few weeks, multiple foreign terrorist organizations are calling for attacks against Americans and the west, adding the threat is at a whole other level. Christopher Wray said, "Al-Qaeda issued its most specific call to attack the United States in the last 5 years. ISIS urged its followers to target Jewish communities in the United States and Europe." The FBI director is also concerned about lone wolf attacks on US soil, from those who draw inspiration from the events in the Middle East. He says, "We've already seen that with the individual we arrested last week in Houston, whose been studying how to build bombs and posted online about his support for killing Jews, and with the tragic killing of a 6 year old Muslim boy in Illinois and what we're investigating as a federal hate crime." Republican senators were quick to bring up the crisis at the border and the threat to national security.
