Defeating ISIS could increase terror attacks in the West, FBI Director James Comey Wednesday.

“At some point there is going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we’ve never seen before,” Comey said at a cybersecurity conference at Fordham University, the New York Times reports. “Not all of the Islamic State killers are going to die on the battlefield.”

Comey said ISIS will be destroyed, but that “through the fingers of that crush are going to come hundreds of really dangerous people and they are going to flow primarily to Western Europe.”

Some, he said, may end up in the U.S.

Comey said the terrorist attacks in Brussels and Paris are good examples.

“We in the American counterterrorism business are constantly focused on that — that’s not here yet, but that challenge is going to come,” he said.
