U.S. Intelligence Warns ISIS Threat Is Not Only Real It'll Likely Be Here...
And It's all Biden's fault. He left Afghanistan in the hands of the Taliban and half of their new government is made up of terrorists. The Taliban also freed many ISIS and Al Qaeda members when they took over Afghanistan. And if that's not enough they are rewarding the families of suicide bombers that attacked American troops. So now ISIS and Al Qaeda have a safe place to regroup and build up their forces. U.S. Intelligence is saying that ISIS may attack us within the next 6 months to a year.
"The Islamic State group's affiliate in Afghanistan is poised to develop the capability to launch attacks against the U.S. in as soon as six months, U.S. intelligence agencies believe.
One of the Pentagon's top civilian officials revealed that assessment at a Senate hearing Tuesday morning, seemingly surprising some members on the dais at a time of widespread scrutiny into whether the Biden administration made the right decision to withdraw fully from its longest war zone.
"It's precisely that threat that we need to remain vigilant, and disrupt," Colin Kahl, the undersecretary of defense for policy, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday morning – the latest hearing into the calamitous U.S. pullout from Afghanistan. "We actually are fairly certain they have the intention to do so."
Kahl said the terrorist network, known as ISIS-K, ISKP, or IS-Khorasan, among others, "could potentially" develop the capability to launch external attacks within six-12 months. Likewise, al-Qaida, which maintains safe havens in Afghanistan now under the control of its allies the Taliban, "could potentially" have that capability in one-two years, Kahl added, citing U.S. intelligence assessments."
In fact, we already received our first threat.
"Police in Northern Virginia are on a heightened state of alert as a new law enforcement alert warned of a potential threat against malls and shopping centers located just outside of Washington, D.C. The threat originated with ISIS and is the basis for the alert, sources told CBS News
"We have increased our police presence throughout the county to include major thoroughfares, transit hubs, shopping plazas, and shopping malls," Fairfax County police chief Kevin Davis said Friday.
"A federal intelligence chief said this week that the terror group is pushing lone wolves to attack targets without support, the article stated.
“Right now we’re seeing a dramatic increase — or an increase — in online activity by media operations associated with different al Qaeda elements and Islamic State,” said John Cohen, Department of Homeland Security intelligence chief, according to the network."
If that were not infuriating enough we are sending them humanitarian aid right now. So we have set our enemy in every way. We are feeding them, we left them a ton of weapons, and a whole country they can use to recruit, train, and ready future terrorists in. We sponsored our own terrorists here. If this were Nascar or some sort of sports team they would be wearing an American logo of some kind.
