ISIS Terrorists 'Imminent Threat' To U.S. Power Grid

ISIS terrorists pose an "imminent" threat to the U.S. electric grid with the capacity to coordinate a devastating assault on our nation’s infrastructure, warned a leading homeland security and terrorism expert in a radio interview Sunday.




(WND) Dr. Peter Pry, a former CIA officer, is executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security and director of the U.S. Nuclear Strategy Forum, both congressional advisory boards. He also served on the Congressional EMP Commission, the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission, and the House Armed Services Committee.

"There is an imminent threat from ISIS to the national electric grid and not just to a single U.S. city," said Pry.

Pry was speaking on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s AM 970 The Answer.
