Palestinian terror organization Hamas could exploit the war with Israel to carry out terror attacks on American soil, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director Cristopher Wray told the US House of Representatives late on Wednesday night.
"We cannot - and do not - discount the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct attacks here, on our own soil," Wray told the House Committee on Homeland Security.
"We’ve kept our sights on Hamas and have multiple investigations into individuals affiliated with that foreign terrorist organization.
"And while, historically, our Hamas cases have identified individuals located here who are facilitating and financing terrorism overseas," the FBI head added, "we continue to scrutinize our intelligence to assess how the threat may be evolving."
