A former CIA acting director under the Obama administration said Tuesday that he is worried about a chemical weapons attack by ISIS in Europe and that he believes they are winning.

The two-time acting director said ISIS has “more territory today around the world than they did at any time, and they’ve conducted now attacks in Paris, San Bernardino and now in Brussels,” Washington Examiner reports.
Morrell worries about bomb making capabilities in Europe and sees a possibility for ISIS using chemical weapons there, something they have utilized in Syria. He said his “nightmare scenario” is “a chemical weapons manufacturing capability in Europe and an attack in Europe using chemical weapons – I worry about that a lot.”
“So I would say they’re winning, right? They’re winning, and we’re going to have to find additional approaches to try to undermine them,” said the former CIA official.
