Israelis and
Jews around the world
are under a growing
threat from Islamic
terrorists and need to
demand that local
authorities provide
better security,
former
Counterterrorism
Bureau chief
Brig.-Gen. (res)
Nitzan Nuriel said
Monday, hours after a
gunman killed four
people outside of a
Jewish school in
France.
Nuriel told
The Jerusalem Post
that a coalition of
jihadist
organizations have
made a decision to
attack Israeli and
Jewish targets
wherever they may be
without distinction.
"They attack whoever
they can and
wherever security is
lax," he said.
According
to Nuriel, who
stepped down from
his post several
months ago, Iran
and terror groups
are trying to
deter Israel from
taking action
against them by
carrying out these
attacks overseas.
He said it was
possible that the
attack against the
school in France
was not terror
related, but he
did draw a direct
line between the
recent spate of
bombings plots in
India Georgia,
Thailand and
Azerbaijan
