Report shows Spike in cases of terror Homegrown but Intelligence gaps remain

By Catherine Herridge published September 07, 2011| FoxNews.com

A spur to domestic terrorism and attacks by American citizens, made abroad are top concerns for police forces across the country, according to a new survey by the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University.

"Radicalization and jihadist terrorism directed foreign and homegrown are perceived as a threat by the police authorities in the United States", according to the report, "fighting terrorism Intelligence: Law Enforcement Perspectives." The survey covers the police chiefs of intelligence for the 56 largest cities of the United States in advance of the 10th anniversary of the attacks of 9/11.

The survey identifies 21 cases of domestic terrorism of September 11, 2001, in May 2009, but 31 case in the last two only years - more than one new case of domestic terrorism each month.

Speaking to the Intelligence and national security Alliance in Washington, the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said that the plots are real and credible.

"Yes, it is a threat." Yes, worry about someone striking a firearm, and then down to a place and do something terrible, "Rep." Mike Rogers, R-Mich. said the forum. "But they will never just.". In all cases, that you have seen, there are indicators leading to this particular event. They have been radicalized to do so. »

After 9/11, the US intelligence community believed should be person-to-person contact for an individual to cross the threshold of violence. Now, it would be possible to virtually. Social networking is to create a new generation of digital jihadists.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, also speaking at the event, recognized that the web is the pilot of radical Islam and the new generation of Al Qaeda 2.0.

"The more informed Internet use, traditional and social media and information technology groups adds an extra layer of complexity to an already complex image threat," she said.

The new report also found that intelligence believe gaps remain a decade after the attacks. Believe that the United States does not have "a proper understanding of the business of counter-terrorism intelligence", the leaders cited a lack of access to certain intelligence products and said, in some cases, the details of the information did not: it is not shared adequately, or data have been tainted or there was just too much of it.

Philip Mudd, researcher at the foundation of new liberal America who worked in the world of the fight against terrorism for more than two decades and was used in the Obama, and Bush administrations said Fox News that marrying federal law, States and local application systems was not an easy task.

"We must have rules and regulations if get us something in San Francisco can give us in Topekam"he says. ".

Added Mudd that Al Qaeda has evolved and homegrown plots are the most recent manifestation. He said, it is unlikely that the number of cases has peaked.

"This is a new art form, and it is not even the form of art that we would have had five or six years ago," Mudd said, referring to the analysis of the information. "This homegrown phenomenon is really only about three or four years." It is not only how to answer us after 10 years of the problem of terrorism, it was how do we respond to the problem of the revolution of Al Qaeda when we have not even case with members of Al Qaeda anymore. »

National bestseller corresponding Catherine Herridge "the next wave: on the hunt for American recruits for al-Qaeda" was published on June 21 by the Crown. It is based on her reporting for Fox News in al-Awlaki and its new generation of recruits homegrown - Al Qaeda 2.0. It is the first book to explore full American life of al-Awlaki, its connections to the pirates of the air and how the clerc double crossed the FBI after 9/11.
