WASHINGTON — FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday warned that Hamas' actions in the Middle East could inspire other terrorist attacks, including by violent extremists in the U.S. 'We assess that the actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we haven’t seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate years ago,' Wray said in testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee at a hearing focused on threats to America.
The FBI director also highlighted the brutal killing of a 6-year-old Muslim boy in Illinois earlier this month that his agency is investigating as a hate crime. The FBI, he continued, has 'multiple, ongoing investigations' into people affiliated with Hamas. 'Bottom line, we're going to continue to do everything in our power to protect the American people and support our partners in Israel,' he said.
