Phares to Fox.com: "The Khorasan's group is the al Qaeda gathering of Jihadists who are from or fought in Central Asia"
Walid Phares, a Fox News contributor and terrorism expert, said he believes it's possible the Obama administration used the term without linking to Al Qaeda for obvious political reasons.
"Remember, this is an administration that refused to used the term jihadists before they started to use it lately," Phares told FoxNews.com. "Refused to acknowledge that a jihadi ideology existed before they started to accept the idea. Nothing surprises me in the terror-narrative of this administration. I do believe, though, that they picked up the name Khorasan Group as a regional Al Qaeda command and possibly that this particular command was planning attacks, then said they bombed a new organization which was plotting to harm the homeland. But guess what? All Al Qaeda regional groups are planning the same thing, i.e. strike the homeland."
