The US Federal Bureau of Investigation fears a terrorist attack similar to the attack on the Crocus City Hall concert hall.
The head of the department, Christopher Ray, plans to announce this at a hearing in the US Congress on Thursday.
The agency reports this.
What terrorist attack does the FBI fear?
According to Reuters, the FBI director will say at a congressional hearing that there is growing concern about the possibility of a coordinated terrorist attack similar to the Crocus attack.
The organizer of the terrorist attack, according to Ray, could be the terrorist organization “Islamic State” (banned in Russia).
According to the head of the FBI, the US national security is now exposed to more threats than he has seen in his entire career.
In this regard, Ray intends to convince Congress to extend the government program that allows intelligence agencies to track and store calls and messages without additional permission from citizens.
Terrorist attack at Crocus
On the evening of March 22, four men burst into Crocus and began shooting people with automatic weapons.
The attackers also set the building on fire, causing a strong fire.
According to the latest information, 145 people were killed and 551 were injured as a result of the terrorist attack.
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case under the article “Terrorist attack”. The perpetrators were detained on the morning of March 23 in the Bryansk region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a total of 11 people were detained.
Earlier, Israel killed three sons of the Hamas leader.
