PTI, Washington :
The ISIS terror group poses an increasingly deadly threat to the US, its allies and global security, a top American lawmaker warned today.
“The alarming rise of Islamist extremists has spawned a deadly terror campaign across the globe. Sadly, we again have seen the resulting carnage recently in Brussels, Jerusalem, and Kabul. Our enemies are continuing to exploit growing instability and the retreat of American leadership,” said Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul as he release the latest monthly issue of Terror Threat Snapsot.
“ISIS poses an increasingly deadly threat to the United States, its allies, and global security,” said the five page snapshot.
ISIS and its supporters have exploited sanctuaries across the Middle East and North Africa, the flow of nearly 40,000 terrorists into Syria, a massive refugee wave and security gaps to execute a terror campaign that includes 83 attack plots against Western targets since 2014, it said.
