(Worthy News) – A top Pentagon official told Congress on Tuesday he’s certain the Islamic State and al Qaeda terrorist groups intend to launch attacks against the U.S. from Afghanistan.
Fox News reports Colin Kahl, undersecretary of Defense for policy, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee, saying even though neither group poses an imminent threat, they still must be taken seriously as that could change in a fairly short amount of time.
“I think the intelligence community currently assesses that both ISIS-K and al Qaeda have the intent to conduct external operations, including against the United States. But neither currently has the capability to do so,” he said. “We could see ISIS-K generate that capability in somewhere between six or 12 months. I think the current assessments by the intelligence community is that al Qaeda would take a year or two to reconstitute that capability.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
