<p>FBI Director Christopher Wray warned during an interview on Sunday that the threat of Islamic terrorism was much more significant than most in the U.S. realize.</p>
<p>Wray made the remarks during an interview on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; just two weeks after an ISIS-inspired terrorist killed 14 people on New Year&#8217;s Day in New Orleans&#8217; French Quarter.</p>
<p>&#8220;There was a guy, a Pakistani citizen just a few months ago who we worked with our Canadian partners to arrest,&#8221; Wray said. &#8220;This guy was trying to get into the U.S., to get to New York City to conduct a mass shooting at a Jewish center in Brooklyn. And, in his words, not my words, his words, he wanted to conduct the largest attack in the U.S. since 9/11.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So what I would say to the American people is that, when you think these things are happening half a world away, it&#8217;s like that little inscription on your mirror in your car, &#8216;Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear,'&#8221; he continued.</p>
<p>Wray said that the terrorist in New Orleans, a U.S. citizen, was &#8220;radicalized online&#8221; and was &#8220;determined to try to murder as many innocent people as he could in the name of ISIS.&#8221;</p>

<p>He said that lone wolf attacks were the most difficult to stop because terrorists like one in New Orleans &#8220;radicalize not in years but in weeks,&#8221; and they use crude methods of attack that are deadly.</p>
<p>&#8220;And if you think about that old saying about connecting the dots, there are not a lot of dots out there to connect,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And there&#8217;s very little time in which to connect them.&#8221;</p>
