The FBI is growing increasingly concerned about a potential attack in the U.S. similar to last month's Russia concert hall shooting, Bureau Director Christopher Wray said Thursday.
”As I look back over my career in law enforcement, I would be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once," Wray told lawmakers as he urged Congress to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).”
Our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home," Wray told the House Appropriations Committee.
"But now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall" that killed more than 130 people, he added.

How would you feel if your personal privacy was reduced to increase national security against terrorist threats?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What is your reaction to knowing that threats from small groups or individuals are considered an imminent danger to public safety?
@9LHMHSS2yrs2Y
Not and imminent danger but definitely something to monitor and prevent
Fact ... the corrupt FBI used FISA to try to illegally take down a sitting President.

Republicans in Congress - "Let's renew it because of Al- Qaeda." Trust us! Give me a break.
Tell me again, why do I vote Republican?
They sell us out EVERY DAMN TIME!
After they sell us out for the deep state on FISA, they'll move on to fully funding Ukraine.
I loathe these sellout war pig frauds.
I am changing my registration back to non affiliated. I won’t support republicans as they are traitors. I’m voting for Trump and America First candidates.
Great, so instead of trying to fix/expose the corruption at grass roots level through primaries, you're going to give them even more power. Precinct strategy is getting AF control back in many regions, but it'll still take years for the effects to percolate up to higher levels.
I don't vote republican because they are useless. I will vote for Trump, but not because he is a Republican candidate.
