ISIS-K in Afghanistan could be capable of launching terror attack against US in just 6 months, defense official says - TheBlaze

ISIS-K terrorists in Afghanistan could have the capability to conduct external attacks on other countries — including the United States — in as little as six to 12 months, a Pentagon official told members of Congress this week.

What are the details?

While testifying in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl warned that the terrorist group has every intention of conducting such attacks but currently lacks the capability. The same is reportedly true of al Qaeda.

But Kahl said that could be changing in relatively short order, according to the Military Times.
