A former CIA deputy director under President Obama said Tuesday morning that Islamic State terrorists are winning, following the deadly attacks in Belgium.
Michael Morell, who served as acting director twice with the CIA, said the attacks are a “reflection of how large, how compartmented, how sophisticated the ISIS capability is in Europe.”
And though the United States is having success fighting the Islamic State in Syria, the terror group is “growing rapidly in the rest of the world,” Morell said on CBS “This Morning.”
The Islamic State likely has “more territory today around the world than they did at any time, and they’ve conducted now attacks in Paris, San Bernardino and now in Brussels,” he said.
“So I would say they’re winning, right? They’re winning, and we’re going to have to find additional approaches to try to undermine them,” Morell proclaimed.
