Khorasan militants framed as Western recruitment threat
U.S. officials describe Khorasan in Afghanistan as focusing on recruiting Europeans and Americans rather than fighting Assad. Classified assessments say they work with Yemen al Qaida bomb makers to test ways to bypass airport security. The Obama administration says IS poses no imminent U.S. threat, while Khorasan is seen as a more immediate danger.
