FBI faces tough task in stopping 'lone wolf' extremists

Click HERE

Note in the excerpt below on how the rules of the game have changed with the advent of the 'lone wolf' terrorists.....useful for qns with the word 'still'.....note also the closing BANG using a thought-provoking rhetorical qn that reinforces the stand....

"I think the FBI has an incredibly hard job, because this guy seems like a lone wolf," said Ms Caroline Fredrickson, president of the American Constitution Society.
This dilemma is not new, but it has become more acute in recent years. For years after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the FBI used Al-Qaeda's rigid hierarchy against the terrorist group.
Government experts knew how plots were hatched and who approved them. They knew the terrorism pedigree of the key figures, and monitored travel to watch for people training in camps.
Today, however, ISIS encourages anyone to take up arms in its name. Travel and training are unnecessary ......... "It's the counter-terrorism equivalent of 'How do you prevent someone from robbing a liquor store?' " he said.


Qn: Can terrorism ever be eradicated?
