<p>Rep. Micheal McCaul (R-TX), Chairman Emeritus of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Homeland Security Committee, outlined the threats that he wants President-elect Donald Trump to focus on immediately after getting sworn into office.</p>
<p>McCaul made the remarks during a Sunday interview on ABC News&#8217; &#8220;This Week&#8221; with George Stephanopoulos while discussing 42-year-old ISIS terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar&#8217;s attack on New Orleans&#8217; French Quarter last week.</p>
<p>McCaul said that he was specifically looking forward to learning more about his month-long trip to Egypt prior to the attack since investigators have found that he produced a rare explosive compound for bombs that he made.</p>
<p>&#8220;What was he doing in Egypt for a month?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;It reminds me so much, George, of the Boston bomber, who traveled to Dagestan, came back, and then built this pressure cooker bomb that led to the deaths of so many people in that marathon.&#8221;</p>
<p>McCaul said that Trump&#8217;s incoming national security team needed to focus on vehicle attacks in light of the attack and the vehicle attack in Germany late last month.</p>
<p>&#8220;The other thing, I&#8217;m very worried about is, with the fall of Afghanistan and – and the debacle, and with what happened there, we are seeing a resurgence of ISIS and ISIS-K in the Khorasan region between Afghanistan and Pakistan that concerns me greatly,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now we know that eight ISIS individuals have entered the United States through that.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that the administration also needed to focus on online radicalization since more terrorists are becoming radicalized in Western countries and there are not always warning signs prior to their attacks.</p>
