FBI Director, James Comey: “We have tracked coming up on close to 150 people who travelled from the United States to Syria, for all manner of motivations. A significant number of them to fight,” he told reporters at a briefing in Boston on Tuesday.
A top concern being the Americans could travel back to the US after being trained by Jihadists.
“We are determined not to allow future lines to be drawn from a terrorist diaspora out of Syria to a future 9/11,” he said.
“That is something that we track very closely,” he said. “I don’t want them to know too much about what we know.” Reuters
