EXCERPT:
KAYYEM: “They see the news to ensure that places that may be targeted and in particular synagogues — in this case, a synagogue or the Jewish community are — are focused on and that the threat environment that people that I talked to right now who are in the state and local world are worried about two things.

Well, we don’t — that we could be seeing today — I’ll be careful — but in ways that we should anticipate the longer this war goes.”
