‘Khorasan’ Al-Qaeda Splinter Terror Group, Rivals ISIS As A Threat To U.S. And The West (Warning Issued, Video)
By Josey Wales
The global jihad movement has just split in two.
A shadowy group of extremists with links to Al-Qaeda is as big a threat as the Islamic State and just as likely to launch a terror attack against Western targets, US intelligence officials have warned.
The network, known as the Khorasan Group, was acknowledged and named publicly for the first time on Thursday by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. He confirmed the group is operating in the region and said they may pose as great a threat to the U.S. as the Islamic State. “There is potentially yet another threat to the homeland, yes,” Clapper said at an intelligence conference in Washington.
According to the New York Times, the group is described by several intelligence, law enforcement and military officials as being made up of al-Qaeda operatives from across the Middle East, South Asia and north Africa.
Long time al-Qaeda operative Muhsin al-Fadhli is thought to be the leader of the Khorasan.
The man thought to lead the group, Muhsin al-Fadhli, was involved in the 11 September terror attacks and was one of Osama bin Laden’s top commanders. Beyond that, little is known about the group.
Will this lead to both terror groups competing to see who can do the most damage to the west? How soon will they strike a western target and will it be on U.S. soil?
Or could this be another manufactured terror threat to rally support for the growing war effort in the Middle East?
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., said on “Face the Nation” Sunday that the threat of Khorasan is “more immediate” than the Islamic State, which the United States is targeting with airstrikes.
Rogers described Khorasan as “forward-deployed al Qaeda operatives who were engaging with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to develop a terror plot to bring down airplanes.”
Officials have warned that the group’s expertise in making bombs coupled with the presence of jihadist fighters with Western passports in its ranks make it a significant threat to homeland security.

Can they get on with it already !!!
America created ISIS to potentially topple Syria.
You can only throw money to a dog for a certain amount of time before the dog starts to understand he is being used more than what he thought. Then the dog starts demanding more. If he does not get more then he seeks a new master. Such is the American government now, running out of dogs who will do their filthy work.
The day will come when America will crumble and I for one cannot wait to see this day. I’ve said this before and I will say this again, confine Americans to their own country and the world will suddenly have peace.
Agree with your FIRST paragraph. Your SECOND paragraph is an insult and not acceptable. Americans have been fed more media lies than most countries. If computors were around during the time of JFK we would not be in this situation right now. But we were bamboozled and there was no way of knowing or questioning until Vietnam Nam. But it was still at a slow pace until the mid 90s and whistleblowers. Many of us are now aware. Many didn’t have the opportunities to travel to Europe or get foreign news to see a different take on events. So stop insulting Americans. In every comment section you ritually do this.
