United States is now considered vulnerable to any unpredictable ISIS attack according to one of the US Senators. He warns fellow Americans that the country is susceptible to attacks of the terrorist group anytime considering that the group is getting desperate when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ISIS state leader, was seriously injured.
Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and at the same time one of the respected Senators of the country, Sen. Ron Johnson, said in an interview that the "State of the Union" Sunday attacks were from the ISIS. Based from his theories in mind, this is like the provocative cartoon contest in Texas last week. From the said attack, it was meant for conveying message particularly a "winner's message." Thus, making the entire country vulnerable to these attacks.
Johnson added that the only way and might as well the best strategy for the country to defeat these ISIS-related attacks in the country is to eliminate or defeat the main lands or headquarters of these terrorist group in Syria and Iraq. For him, this is one best thing to do in order to lose their strong organization.
However, this might be challenging in behalf of the authorities in tracking the ISIS sympathizers because of the possibility that the group has recruited many of the citizens through social media and at the same time, the law enforcement officers are not able to track down every possible suspect they could identify. Mainly because there are tens of thousands of the sympathizers, and counting, perhaps, this made the tracking much more difficult for them albeit Constitution is strongly upheld.
U.S. Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, Brett McGurk, revealed that there are 22,000 foreigners already been recruited and officially joined the said terrorist group. They may even have their ranks in both of these mentioned countries in the Middle East.
He added that the ISIS is more of a threat than the al Qaeda who did the remarkable 9/11 attack. This was according to the statements made by Tom Ridge, the secretary of Homeland Security under the former United States President George W. Bush.
In related news, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State's leader, was reported to have been in tight security for two months after being seriously wounded. These wounds he sustained left some damages in his spinal area with his left leg "immobile." These reports were gathered from the statements of the jihadist defectors.
Because of his current condition, he was advised to move back since it prompted so-called Islamic State's governing Shura Council to make a final decision for the stand in-leader al-Baghdadi.
Currently, he is mentally alert yet still able to make issue orders, however, his injuries from the wounds made him unable to fulfil his duties. Last week, he was even reported that he died after the March airstrike. The ISIS members were already sworn to the new replacement Abu Ala al-Afri, a former physics teacher.
With these claims, these remain illogical and doubted since there were no concrete evidence of al-Baghdadi's passing if he really died or still remained hidden in the eyes of the global authorities. If not dead, perhaps they could say that "he's not kicking."
This is because the wounds he got from the previous months were that life threatening resulting to the doubts of the ISIS members of his capacity to lead the entire organization amid his current state. But this did not matter for the US authorities who placed $10 million dollar on his head and al-Afri with $7 million dollar.
United States of America may be susceptible to the acts of terrorism from the ISIS Militants considering that terrorist group may get desperate with their current state of leadership. Islamic State Leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, may be seriously wounded, but he is still a capable leader of the militant group.
