Rep. McCaul on French Train Terrorist: He Traveled to Syria Before Attack

‘I think that illustrates how dangerous it is in Europe right now; the threat of this foreign fighter traveling to ISIS and Syria and coming back’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

Rep. MIKE McCAUL: "Can't go to what we knew. I will tell you three European countries had intelligence flags on this individual as a potential terrorist. It's been identified after the fact that he flew from Berlin into Istanbul and then into Syria, presumably to train with ISIS, and then returned back into Europe. This shows you how wide open and vulnerable Europe is to foreign fighter travel going through the region, training and then coming back. The fact that three of these European countries had flags on this individual, yet he was ability to travel so freely without being impeded or being flagged or stopped or detained, I think that illustrates how dangerous it is in Europe right now. The threat of this foreign fighter traveling to ISIS and Syria and coming back."
