BREAKING: FBI Knew AZ Islamist Was Targeting Texas Conference HOURS BEFORE Attack (VIDEO)
FBI KNEW ARIZONA ISLAMIST WAS TARGETING TEXAS CONFERENCE!
They knew it hours before attack occurred!
Elton Simpson (on left) , reportedly tweeted minutes before the attack that he and his fellow assailant had pledged allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The FBI knew Elton Simpson was heading to Garland, Texas.
It’s not clear if local authorities were notified.
FBI Director James Coomey said they may have missed others.
Comey added: “There are “hundreds, maybe thousands” of people across the country who are receiving recruitment overtures or directives to attack the U.S.”
Shepard Smith reported:
The FBI knew one of the gunmen in Sunday’s attack in Texas could be targeting the controversial Mohammad cartoon contest, anti-Islam conference… And they knew it hours before the attack occurred. That comes straight from the FBI director who just moments ago held a closed door meeting with reporters. The FBI put out a bulletin with suspect’s picture before the attack. He said it’s not clear if police in Garland, Texas knew about that bulletin.
