Part 7/11:
In the United States, FBI Director Christopher Wray has raised alarms about the heightened risk of domestic terrorism. Testifying before a Senate subcommittee, Wray conveyed that the threat level is exceptionally high, comparable to previous dangerous periods. He highlighted the FBI’s ongoing efforts to disrupt attacks and warned of potential threats that could mirror the March ISIS-K attack in Moscow, which resulted in over 140 deaths.
The FBI’s primary concern lies in domestic groups capable of executing coordinated terrorist acts, with ISIS remnants and other foreign militants like Shiite extremist factions posing significant dangers. Wray stressed that the bureau is struggling to fill roughly 1,000 positions, which could hamper counterterrorism efforts.
