WASHINGTON — The FBI told ABC News two years ago the U.S. may have already allowed in “dozens” of terrorists as refugees. The revelation came after two al-Qaida terrorists who were admitted as refugees and lived in Bowling Green, Ky., later said they attacked U.S. military personnel in Iraq.
“We are currently supporting dozens of current counter-terrorism investigations like that,” FBI Agent Gregory Carl, director of the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center, said in an ABC News interview at the time.
Last Friday’s terrorists attacks in Paris that left 129 dead and 352 injured revealed that one of the attackers fled Syria amid a flood of refugees into Greece. Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions called the attacks a “game changer,” telling reporters Monday, “this country can see this type of thing happening here. We can see it’s a matter of mathematics.”
