FBI Chief Warns "Terrorist Diaspora" Will Come to the West
(Bloomberg) Chris Strohm - "At some point there's going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we've never seen before," FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday in New York. "We saw the future of this threat in Brussels and Paris," adding that future attacks will be on "an order of magnitude greater." His comments reflect a consensus among U.S. intelligence officials that Islamic State inevitably will strike out abroad as it continues to lose ground militarily under attack from a U.S.-led coalition. Comey called violence directed or inspired by Islamic State "the greatest threat to the physical safety of Americans today."
