ISIS terrorist attacks

Already in 2016, at least 28 ISIS terrorist attacks have killed over 1,000 people around the globe.

While most attacks occur in the Middle East, they're not limited to that region. Both Western Europe and the United States have seen their share.

According to FBI Director James Comey, ISIS terrorist attacks are only going to become more frequent and deadly...

At a cybersecurity conference on Wednesday, Comey said that "at some point, there's going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we've never seen before."

We're already seeing evidence of the vast reach and influence of ISIS. Just look at this breakdown of ISIS terrorist attacks this year:
