Description
The Islamic State group has called for "lone jihadists" to use the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States as an opportunity to carry out violence. An Iran-linked hacker group claims to have breached FBI drones and has threatened to target the World Cup, a monitoring group said Friday. The hackers said the drones featured facial recognition and license plate screening deployed for counterterrorism. Eric Wojtkun, a former FBI counterintelligence agent, joins Newell to talk about it.
