FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed Thursday that his agents are investigating several instances where someone in the U.S. weaponized a drone by adding an improvised explosive device.
Mr. Wray was urging Congress to act to renew federal authority to block drones from big events such as the Super Bowl, and warned of what might happen if that doesn’t happen.
“We’re investigating, even as we speak, several instances within the U.S. of attempts to weaponize — to weaponize — drones with homemade IEDs. That is the future that is here now,” Mr. Wray told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee during a briefing on global threats facing the country.
