Rep. McCaul: ISIS Likely Brought Down Plane, Russia's 9/11

Islamic State (ISIS) militants most likely brought down the Russian Metrojet a week ago that killed all 224 on board, says Rep. Mike McCaul, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.

"All indicators are pointing to the fact that it was ISIS putting a bomb on an airplane," the Texas Republican said on "Fox News Sunday." 

"I have a high degree of confidence. It’s been my gut (feeling) all along."

The incident is comparable to 9/11 for Russia, he said.

And, he added, part of the blame lies with the Obama administration's foreign policy.

"When you project weakness throughout the world and you have a failed foreign policy, this is what you get," McCaul said. "And now we have chaos in the Middle East, have ISIS taking over Iraq, Syria, Northern Africa, Egypt. Now we have the Russians in there; it has presented a very complicated strategy moving forward in terms of protecting the American people."
