This has been revealed by the Pentagon has. The officials have said that alongside its strikes on the ISIS heartland, US warplanes have hit a previously unknown group of Al-Qaeda militants known as the Khorosan Group.
This group is apparently a new setup and consists of seasoned terrorists – their plan was to attack a US airliner or other target making using of a bomb without any metal parts, toothpaste tubes and clothes dipped in explosives.
Khorasan is believed to be a group of seasoned al-Qaeda veterans – they intercept Westerners travelling to fight for radical groups in Syria, including ISIS. And, since many of these would-be jihadists retain their passports and travelled to Syria without their home nation's knowledge, Khorasan picks them up and imparts training to them not for combat in the Middle East but rather for future terror attacks back home in the West.
