Washington – Christopher Wray, head of the US investigative agency ‘FBI’, warned that the risk of terrorist attacks in the US has increased significantly after Hamas launched attacks in Israel. The FBI chief also claimed that the US agencies are foiling possible attacks and plots daily. Wray also drew attention to the fact that terrorist groups can take advantage of the weakened southern US border due to the influx of refugees.
After Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel, pro-Palestine groups all over the world have taken to the streets and are seen standing in support of Hamas’s activities. After Israel launched the anti-Hamas war, Palestinian supporters have become more aggressive and are targeting those who stand in support of Israel. Those who support Israel are being threatened along with the Jews, and there have been incidents of encounter between them.
On this background, Christopher Wray, head of the US’s leading investigative agency ‘The FBI’, drew the attention of the US Congress towards the increasing danger of terrorist attacks in the country. During this time, Wray brought to notice that for the first time after the formation of the ‘Caliphate’ by IS, the threat of terrorist attacks in the US has increased significantly. Earlier, the danger of attack by a specific terrorist group or organization was seen to be increasing. However, this time, the head of ‘The FBI’ warned of the rising possibility of almost all terrorist groups and organizations carrying out attacks in the US. Along with the US, other Western countries can also be targeted, the FBI chief said.
Former Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal had instigated all Arab-Islamic countries and Palestine supporters to expand the war against Israel. After this, some terrorist organizations in the Gulf declared support for Hamas and threatened to attack the interests of Israel and the countries supporting it. In the Israel-Hamas war, the US has so far stood in support of Israel and has also dispatched two of its aircraft carriers. US’s Secretary of State and Defense Secretary have also promised cooperation by visiting Israel.
If we look at this, the possibility of terrorist and extremist groups targeting the US has increased, FBI chief Christopher Wray underscored. At this time, he also mentioned the US’s ‘Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’. Under its ‘Section 702’, it is possible for the US administration to monitor suspicious people abroad and keep track of their messages. Wray has also claimed that the stipulated period of this provision will end by the end of this year, and this issue may prove difficult for the investigating agencies.
