The former deputy director of the CIA fears that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria could carry out attacks in the United States.
CBS News national security analyst Mike Morell told “CBS This Morning” Thursday that this terror group poses both short- and long-term threats to the U.S.
“The short-term concern is the Americans that have gone to fight with ISIS and the west Europeans that have gone to fight with ISIS could be trained and directed by ISIS to come to the United States to conduct small-scale attacks,” Morell stated. “If an ISIS member showed up at a mall in the United States tomorrow with an AK-47 and killed a number of Americans, I would not be surprised.”
Morell warned that over the long-term the extremist group could be planning for a 9/11-style attack that killed thousands of Americans.

ISIS has been here for some time. "What are you prepared to do about it?"
Well I shopping on line and renting netflix
also I am shocked that we have not had a mallmascar yet i mean 8 to 10 of those alah akbar screaming dudes storming a mall from a couple different sides ak blazing
I dont go to malls anymore but it isnt because of being afraid of a terror attack.
I expect to see many more attacks where there are large congregations of soft (unarmed) targets such as malls.
Nah, it’ll never happen. The similarities between Orlando, San Bernardino and Paris are entirely coincidental, as is the fact that Mateen, who is of Afghan descent, traveled twice to Saudi Arabia for reasons unknown. (Where were those 9/11 hijackers from again?) Nonetheless, he is a “homegrown” terrorist.
“”””Nonetheless, he is a “homegrown” terrorist.””””
He is also a “lonewolf”. Nothing to see here, move along. We have guns to confiscate.Plus it’s Trumps fault.
And the ISIS terrorist could well be one who has been brought into the US by Obama’s refugee program and especially the current surge to get as many Muslims into the US as possible before the end of Obama’s second term.

That is an interesting view. Terrorism could fundamentally remake the economy and hasten the death of the brick and mortar stores.
I’m stunned that nobody has shot up the million school buses that cruise the roads each school day. Just drive by, rake them with gunfire and keep driving. It would be impossible to find the shooter and it would paralyze the nation. The Muslim beltway shooter several years ago was just two men and it probably took millions of dollars and a lot of luck to capture them. Imagine ten teams crisscrossing the country.
Obama's plan (if he had one) was to let it explode after he left, and blame the GOP. Bush... or failing that, Trump. Madeen, that loose cannon, is ruining the timing.
Trump started insulted Muslims, then they got mad and decided to terrorize America.
That’s what passes for rational thought in the president’s brain.
If citizens are armed that type of an attack would be a lot easier to stop than a jet plane. So what’s the problem?
This was back when ‘lil Barry was mocking the JV squad.
Not a Lone Woof, but a KNOWN Woof....h/t Mark Steyn...
We have also discussed the impact of hitting a school or daycare...and concluded the terrorists realize the degree of backlash that would occur.
When the Soccer Moms and lefties want war, you're as good as dead.
...and for those of you in Rio Linda, the AK-47 is NOT easily purchased at your local gun store!

.
Not to worry; Islam is a ROP. GWB said so.
“I expect to see many more attacks where there are large congregations of soft (unarmed) targets such as malls.”
What bothers me even more than the soft targets of malls, and sporting events is schools. I believe it might have been one Walid Shoebat’s books, he states that the jihadi’s are instructed that if they hit a school, make sure that it is a middle school as those girls are old enough to be raped. And yet in my gut, I fear this is coming. If hillary and billy boy get back in the White House, a lot of hand wringing, but nothing else will be done. Just like with Orlando......obama will do nothing except excuse the whole incident away.
Frmr Director, only if the current oligarch’s puppet is told to allow it for benefit tot he devilish oligarchical plans to disarm American citizens (while arming the terrorists) and end the Republic. Brennan is no friend of America. He is the enemy inside the wire ...
