Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, says he and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson “both agreed that Syria is probably the largest and most significant threat to the homeland security of the United States today.”
That’s because so many “jihadists” are flocking to Syria for military training: “This is becoming the worldwide training ground for terrists,” surpassing even Pakistan, he told “Fox News Sunday.”
The major concern is that Westerners — Americans and Europeans — are going to Syria “with legitimate travel documents” for terrorist training. Eventually they could return to the U.S. or Europe with the will and the ability to launch a successful terror attack.
