ISIS Trying To Deploy Operatives For Further Attacks On West: CIA Chief

WASHINGTON, (ST)- CIA Director John Brennan has warned that ISIS terrorist organization is trying to send more terrorists to western countries to launch new terrorist attacks there.

Syria has repeatedly warned that the foreign-backed terrorism which has been targeting Syria for more than five years, will hit back in the countries which sent terrorists to Syria and provided them with all forms of support, particularly the western countries.

 Associated Press quoted Brenann as saying that he will tell Congress on Thursday that ISIS terrorists are training and attempting to deploy operatives for further attacks on the West and will “rely more on guerrilla-style tactics to compensate for their territorial losses.”

In remarks prepared for the Senate Intelligence Committee, Brennan says ISIS has been working to build an apparatus to direct and inspire attacks against its foreign enemies, as in the recent attacks in Paris and Brussels.

He noted that ISIS branch in Libya is the biggest danger as it works to strengthen its influence in Africa.

Western countries in general and the European ones in particular, are experiencing a state of panic and high alert fearing possible terrorist attacks by terrorist groups they have had supported in other countries.

On Wednesday, the Belgian police announced a state of alert after receiving warning that a group of ISIS terrorists in Syria are heading towards Europe with the intention to carry out new terrorist attacks in Brussels and France. The announcement came a few days after a French police commander was stabbed and after a nightclub in the US city of Orlando was targeted in a terrorist bombing, claimed by ISIS, and in which some 50 people were killed.
