Joseph Wippl, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, said he believes there needs to be greater exchanges of information between security agencies than there has been in the past in the wake of the ISIS terror attacks in Brussels.

Wippl made the argument on a March 22, 2016 segment on WCVB Channel 5 entitled “Vermont mom, daughter were in airport at time of attack.

From the segment:

It’s important for these security services to penetrate these radical Islamic groups. There is no alternative to that, and they really have to concentrate on it and have greater exchanges of information than they have had in the past. I think we as the United States have to get involved.
