House Homeland Security Committee chair Mike McCaul said on CBS that he expects to “see more and more” of the Paris style attacks take place around the world:
“I believe… larger scale, 9/11-style [attacks] are more difficult to pull off – a bigger cell we can detect, a small cell like this one, very difficult to detect, deter and disrupt which is really our goal. I think we’ll see more and more of these taking place, whether it be foreign fighters going to the warfare in return or whether it be someone getting on the internet as John Miller talked about, very sophisticated social media program then radicalizing over the internet,” McCaul said.
McCaul talked about it as a real threat. He called the Paris attack “the most successful foreign fighter terrorist attack that we have seen to date.”
