Feinstein: ISIS May Attack American Embassy in Baghdad, AQAP Tried to Sneak Bombs into the U.S. (National Review Online)

On CBS’ Face the Nation, Senate Intelligence Committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) warned about the growing threat of the Islamic State and other terrorist organizations–such as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)–to the American homeland. Feinstein said she had the photograph of a young girl beheaded by the Islamic State who Feinstein believed was six years old. “This could be an American child, it could be a European child, it could be a child anywhere,” she said. “They [Islamic State terrorists] have killed thousands, they are marching on, they have an army, they’re well-organized. Many of us believe they’re aimed at Baghdad, perhaps our embassy there, and who knows what else.” Feinstein also said AQAP has tried to sneak bombs into the U.S. on four occasions, and poses a threat to national security alongside the Islamic State.
