United States Counterterrorism Chief Says Islamic State Is Not Planning an Attack on the U.S.

The United States’ senior counterterrorism official said on Wednesday that there is “no credible information” that the militants of the Islamic State, who have reigned terror on Iraq and Syria, are planning to attack the U.S. homeland.

    • You nailed it, my friend. Now that this article has piqued my interest I can’t really find any statements by ISIS spokesmen about invading the West directly.

      I am going to continue my efforts to interview TriCk, the former member of Anonymous who executed James Foley. I used to talk to him all the time. We shall see.
