FBI director Christopher Wray has warned that the United States is facing the highest risk of a terrorist attack in years in the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas atrocity in Israel.

Wray warned the Senate Judiciary Committee that there are ‘blinking red lights everywhere’ when asked to assess the ‘threat matrix’ faced by the U.S.

‘The threat level has gone to a whole ‘nother level since October 7,’ Wray said. ‘I have never seen a time where all the threats are all elevated, all at exactly the same time.’

His comments come at a time when U.S. forces are being subjected to a barrage of strikes in the Middle East and with Jewish and Muslim communities being targeted.

There have been at least 74 attacks on U.S. bases and troops since October 17. 

The bureau is ‘moving quickly’ to stop threats against Jews and Muslims across the country, he insisted, and gave his dire analysis of the situation at the border.

He said enough fentanyl flooded in from Mexico to kill every American and admitted he was ‘concerned’ migrant crossings are adding to the terrorist risks.

Wray warned that ‘violent extremists’ in the U.S. and abroad could draw inspiration from the Hamas attack, and the FBI is ‘working around the clock’ to stop these potential attacks.
