A former CIA director wrote that the United States could face a “serious threat” of a terror attack in the “months ahead,” citing the situation along the U.S.–Mexico border and developments in the Middle East.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, who headed the intelligence agency under the Obama administration, warned that there is a “particular vulnerability” at the southern border that could lead to the possibility of a terrorist attack. He delivered the warning in a Foreign Affairs article co-written with Graham Allison, the former U.S. assistant secretary of defense for policy and plans during the Clinton administration.
