Homegrown terrorists to target concerts, sporting events, Homeland Security warns

    Top counterterrorism official says Islamic State’s ability to strike in U.S. not ‘significantly diminished’

    By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Updated: 9:17 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27, 2016

    The nation’s top counterterrorism official testified Tuesday that the world’s army of terrorists is “broader, wider and deeper than any point since 9/11,” the day al Qaeda attacked America.

    Nicholas Rasmussen, who directs the National Counterterrorism Center, said the Islamic State may be losing ground in Iraq and Syria but its ability to strike abroad, including in the U.S., “has not thus far been significantly diminished.”
