The evil death cult “poses a significant and lethal threat” to America and is believed to be expanding its reach in the States.
Former acting CIA director Michael Morell said ISIS was “almost certainly” planning Paris and Jakarta-style lone wolf attacks in the US.
Mr Morrell said the group had emerged from “nothing” a year ago to dominate nearly 20 countries, adding that “ISIS has gained affiliates faster than al-Qaeda ever did”.
He said: “They have conducted attacks that have already killed Americans and they carry the potential to themselves to grab large amounts of territory.”
Mr Morrell was speaking in Washington alongside Michael Vickers, former under secretary of defence for intelligence, and former US ambassador to Syria Robert Ford.
The respected trio of Washington officials said ISIS was now more dangerous than ever.
The FBI is thought to have more than 900 open investigation into homegrown terrorists in the US and more than 36,000 fighters have fled to Syria to join the group, with around 6,600 believed to have Western passports.
