Fmr. CIA Chief: Media Ignoring ‘Very Significant Threat’ of Radicalization Inspired by Islamic State (The Washington Free Beacon)

Former acting CIA Director Michael Morrell said the media are ignoring the “very significant threat” of self-radicalization inspired by propaganda from the Islamic State (IS, ISIL or ISIS).

“We have had three attacks in the last week, two in Canada, one in New York City. There was a terrorist attack in the United States last week, the media sort of didn’t pay a lot of attention to it but there was,” Morrell said. “This is a very significant threat—the self-radicalization inspired by ISIS’s message.”
