FBI Director: Passover Attacks on Jews Concerning

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday told Jewish leaders that the bureau is on alert for potential threats against Jews before the start of Passover next week.

Speaking during a webinar hosted by the Secure Community Network and sponsored by groups that included the Jewish Federations of North America, Conference of Residents of Dover, and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Wray said this is “not a time for panic but it is a time for continued vigilance.”

“I’m hard-pressed to think of the time where so many different threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at the same time,” Wray said. “Today at the bureau, we remain particularly concerned that loan actors could target large gatherings, high-profile events or symbolic or religious locations for violence, particularly a concern, of course, as we look to the start of Passover on Monday evening.”
