Feds Claim 900 Investigations on ISIS Operatives Inside US


 

The FBI Director, James Comey, reported an astonishing number of people, 900,  that they are investigating as Islamic State styled operatives all across the country.  Though he has mentioned the investigations before, he has rarely stated the number or the fact that it is climbing.

In a speech to intelligence officials, Comey said that the number of inquiries is “slowly climbing” as ISIL has sought to expand their reach into the U.S., targeting largely young, disaffected potential operatives through a provocative social media campaign.

Because the pace of the investigations has varied in the last several months, Comey said it was still unclear whether the bureau had the necessary resources to meet the demand. Comey referred to a particularly taxing period in mid-summer when federal authorities expressed public concern about the prospect of an attack around the July Fourth holiday.

“If that becomes the new normal … That would be hard to keep up,” the director said, though he said the pace has eased somewhat recently.

Nine-hundred and growing should scare the heck out of us as we see what this radicalization looks like abroad.  Of course, that number is no match for the amount gun owners in the US, but it certainly would be sufficient number to carry out attacks for the justification of a severly locked down country.

One would also assume that 900 only scratches the surface of is inside our borders.
