Extra: The Growing Terror Threat

Does this past week’s terror attack in New Orleans indicate a resurgence of Islamic extremism, and are similar attacks likely? On Thursday, the FBI confirmed their belief that Shamsud-Din Jabbar acted alone in the attack but was inspired by ISIS. Earlier this week, we spoke with national security official Michael Allen about the threat of Islamic terror and the brutal attack on Bourbon Street that killed at least 14 people and injured more than 30. Allen discussed how recent tensions in the Middle East could inspire attacks in the U.S., how terror can spread through radicalization domestically, and the tools we must use to detect extremist threats. The former National Security Council Senior Director and Managing Director of Beacon Global Strategies also weighed in on how the porous southern border has made us more vulnerable, as well as the questions surrounding the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion outside a Trump hotel. While we often have to shorten interviews during the week, we thought you might appreciate hearing the full conversation. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we present our complete interview with national security expert Michael Allen, providing more insights into his assessment following this week’s horrifying events.
