Fmr. Obama CIA Chief: Expect Similar ISIS Inspired Attack in the U.S. in ‘Next Year or So’

“We don’t know with certainty what is motivating this person but it does appear that he is in some way motivated by ISIS. If that’s the case, this is not surprising to me. ISIS has had a focus on Austria for some time. Some 300 Australians have gone to the Middle East to fight in that war, 70 or so are fighting for ISIS. Just a couple of months ago the Australians did a country-wide raid arresting a number of people after a senior ISIS leader called for individuals in Australia to behead Australians in public for ISIS. So there is this focus on Australia ...

Australia is seen by groups like ISIS as a partner of the West, which it certainly is. Australia was a  coalition partner in the war in Iraq, a coalition partner in the war in Afghanistan, and is now a coalition partner in the fight against ISIS. So ISIS sees them as an enemy ... What concerns me the most is that we're going to see this kind of terrorism around the world and we're going to see it here, Norah. We're going to see this kind of attack here and we need to be prepared for that. It shouldn't surprise people when this happens here sometime over the next year or so. Guaranteed."
