Syria: 50 Americans Have Joined Extremist Units, U.S. Says
(Los Angeles Times) Ken Dilanian - At least 50 Americans have joined extremist groups fighting in Syria, and some could try to mount terrorist attacks at home, U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday. CIA Director John Brennan said, "We are concerned about the use of Syrian territory by the al-Qaeda organization to recruit individuals...to use Syria as a launching pad" for attacks on the West. James B. Comey, the FBI director, has said that counter-terrorism officials are trying to track U.S. veterans of the Syrian war who have returned home.
