The New York Times<\/a> writes that the FBI has switched up in their war against domestic terrorism. In previous years, they developed cases and waited until the last moment to reel in the terror suspects, but in the wake of recent lone wolf attacks, they’re forced to spring sooner in their investigations. The Times uses the example of Usaamah Abdullah Rahim;<\/p>\n

In May, counterterrorism investigators began surveillance of Usaamah Abdullah Rahim, a 26-year-old man who been in touch with the Islamic State online. The authorities said they believed that while he was planning to stage an attack, he was not an imminent threat. But, Mr. Comey said that Mr. Rahim \u201cwoke up on the morning of June the 2nd and said ,\u2018You know what, I think today is the day,\u2019 and just went to kill people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Specifically, F.B.I. agents, who were tapping Mr. Rahim\u2019s phone, heard him say on June 2 that he planned to behead a police officer. When they tried to apprehend him, he pulled out a knife and the agents fatally shot him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an example of how this is so different: There could be a plan to do something in the future, but the kind of folks these are, they\u2019re unpredictable, unreliable,\u201d Mr. Comey said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another recent example is Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez in Tennessee. The FBI thinks that he radicalized himself in sort of an extension program;<\/p>\n

The group is essentially trying to crowdsource terrorism. Every day, the group sends messages on Twitter and on other social media platforms to thousands of Americans with simple instructions: Commit some type of violence in our name.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey say: \u2018Do whatever you can. If you can\u2019t get a gun, find a rock and throw it at someone,\u2019 \u201d said one senior law enforcement official.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, that particular brand of terrorism will only work in gun-free-zones in the US. Lucky for ISIS that we have entire cities and states they can target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
