The Scowcroft Group is discussing the recent terrorist attacks in Egypt, Lebanon, and Paris and how they demonstrate an unexpected level of sophistication from ISIS. This leads to a prediction that European countries and the US will see an increase in incidents and threats similar to those seen with Al Qaeda or Black September and early Hezbollah attacks in the 1970s. The group also predicts further spectacular attacks by ISIS, stating they have eclipsed Al Qaeda in operational capability, financing, recruitment, global reach, and ambitions.
