NYT: Terror From Europe’s Future Street

The dangerous thing about this ISIS territory, the Caliphate’s embryo, is not so much its oil revenue, or its training facilities, or its proximity to the West, or its control over several million people — it is its magnetic assertion of Suuni jihadist power, the retort to humiliation that drew Abaaoud from Future Street. The United States and Europe would not have accepted its existence in 2001. They would not have accepted that terrorists centered in a sanctuary close to a NATO border could shut down Brussels or the University of Chicago.
