Former Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush, Michael Chertoff, was on The Kelly File last Thursday to discuss the threat of ISIS on the US homeland.
Chertoff told Megyn Kelly Al-Qaeda had been experimenting with WMD in Afghanistan labs.
“If we don’t eliminate the problem now it is only going to get worse. And, when we went into Afghanistan after 9-11 we found laboratories where Al-Qaeda was experimenting to try to come up with weapons of mass destruction. If we let ISIS build a state, build laboratories, sell oil and raise money, we’re going to be facing an enemy that is more formidable than we faced on 9-11.”
ISIS terrorists seized Saddam Hussein’s chemical weapons stockpile at the Al Muthanna facility in June.
