Terrorists in US Will 'Get Through,' Feds Can't 'Stop Everything,' FBI Official Warns
Some radical jihadists plotting to attack inside the United States will "unfortunately get through" the nation's counterterrorism efforts, a senior FBI official warned today as he defended his agency's handling of its review two years ago looking at the prime suspect in the weekend bombing spree around New York and New Jersey.
"We will try and do as much as we can, but we will not be able to stop everything," FBI Executive Assistant Director Mike Steinbach said.
Elsewhere today, a top official with the New York Police Department, which has historically butted heads with the FBI, offered his own unwavering defense of the FBI's handling of the Ahmad Rahami case two years ago.
"It was handled to the extent that the law, the system and the guidelines that we operate under would allow," NYPD Deputy Commissioner John Miller told a House panel.
