Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe global terrorist threat has entered a “new phase,” where media-savvy Islamist extremists are successfully drawing lone wolf attackers to their cause, the US secretary of Homeland Security warns.
In an interview with ABC News, Jeh Johnson says the Islamic State group’s influence was spreading far beyond the battlegrounds of the Middle East.
“We’re very definitely in a new environment, because of ISIL’s (IS’s) effective use of social media, the Internet, which has the ability to reach into the homeland and possibly inspire others,” Johnson says.
“We’re very definitely in a new phase in the global terrorist threat, where the so-called lone wolf could strike at any moment.”
