FBI Director James Comey said that a Syrian terror organization is planning an attack on U.S. soil or against one of our allies in the very near future. The group however, is not one known to many Americans.

The organization is called Khorasan, a group that has taken over much of the al Qaeda mantle in Syria. Comey says that this group is extremely serious and hell bent on destruction.
On 60 Minutes he had the following to say:
“Khorasan was working and may still be working on an effort to attack the United States or our allies, and looking to do it very, very soon…I can’t sit here and tell you whether it’s their plan is tomorrow or three weeks or three months from now…so we have to act as if it’s coming tomorrow.”

The head of the FBI said in an interview broadcast late Sunday that the U.S. is preparing for an imminent terrorist attack.
FBI Director James Comey said the Khorasan Group, an al Qaeda affiliate in Syria, may still be working on a plan to hit the United States.
“Khorasan was working and may still be working on an effort to attack the United States or our allies, and looking to do it very, very soon,” he said on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
“I can’t sit here and tell you whether it’s their plan is tomorrow or three weeks or three months from now,” he said.
