Former U.S. Intelligence Officer: US Underestimating Islamic State Terror Threat

The Independent: US underestimating Isis threat, former top intelligence official warns

'This isn’t just lone wolves inspired by propaganda. This is coordinated.'

The US is underestimating the threat posed by Isis, according to former top intelligence official.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Derek Harvey said the country’s intelligence services are failing to protect their citizens from future attacks because they are not coming to the right conclusions about the terror group.

The former senior intelligence adviser and agent on Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, told the newspaper that any perception that Isis focused solely on their wars in Iraq and Syria, while volunteers dedicated to the group undertook attacks in Western countries, was not correct.
