“We are all very concerned about the possibility of some kind of coordinated attack here in our homeland, which may not be very different from what we saw in the concert hall in Russia,” he said.
According to Ray, the risk of terrorist attacks in the United States increased last fall when Israel launched a military operation against Palestine. The threat from individual perpetrators and small extremist groups is especially high, the FBI director added.
Recall that the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow took place on the afternoon of March 22. Armed people broke into the building and opened fire on spectators attending the Picnic group’s concert, and then set fire to the room.
The tragedy killed 145 people.
