Lone Wolf Threats in the Age of 9/11 | California News

Twenty-five years after 9/11, the FBI warns that foreign terrorist groups remain a serious threat—now more dangerous than ever because radicalization happens online, from people’s own homes. Co-deputy director Chris Raia reveals that while big plots are easier to stop, “lone offenders” are harder to track, with at least sixteen arrests in the past year and a half for plotting or supporting al-Qaeda and ISIS. These groups are growing overseas—with ISIS at 18,000 and al-Qaeda at 28,000—and still use 9/11 as their rallying cry, calling it their “Super Bowl.” A recent arrest in New York of a woman plotting to bomb the state capitol, citing 9/11 in her posts, shows how ideology can shift quickly. Raia insists fighting terrorism remains top priority—and urges the public to keep reporting suspicious activity: “see something, say something.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
