FBI Director James Comey warned Monday of the dangers of Americans traveling to Syria to fight in a “misguided jihad,” the Miami Herald reports.

During his first visit with the Miami bureau, Comey said he’s concerned with Americans traveling to Syria, receiving terrorism training and returning to the U.S.

Comey estimates more than 100 Americans have joined Syrian fighters.

“This is not a New York phenomenon or a Washington phenomenon,” said Comey, who served as deputy attorney general in the George W. Bush administration. “It’s an everywhere thing because the travelers come from anywhere in the United States and they return to any part of the United States.”
