Foreign terrorist groups such as the Islamic State and al Qaeda, and even Iran-allied forces such as Hezbollah and Hamas, pose an immediate threat to the American homeland and warrant a serious response by the Biden administration, key House Republicans said in a new report.
The “Terror Threat Snapshot,” compiled by the House Homeland Security Committee, lays out in disturbing detail the number of jihadi cases in the U.S. over the past three years and shines a spotlight on how “soft targets” could be vulnerable to terrorist attacks. The report, shared exclusively with The Washington Times before its public release, also pointedly faults the administration for what it says has been a “weak” and inadequate response to the danger in recent years.

U.S. military, intelligence and law enforcement officials in recent months have warned about the resurgence of ISIS in the Middle East and the group’s desire, and perhaps its ability, to directly strike targets in Europe and the U.S.
