FBI National Domestic Threat Assessment Omits Islamist Terrorism


I guess we'll have to check out the "Workplace Violence Assessment" to get a picture of the potential Islamofascist threat.

From the Free Beacon:
The FBI’s most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans. 
Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements—none motivated by radical Islam. 
They include anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists. 
Other domestic threat groups outlined by the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists. 
On black separatists, the report warned that “high-profile racially charged crimes or events” could lead to an expansion of black separatist groups. 
The report identified three such groups as the New Black Panther Party, the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, and the Black Hebrew Israelite group as extremists under FBI scrutiny. 
An alternative assessment section in the report warned that radical black activists could “reinitiate violence at the historically high levels seen for the movement during the 1970s, when bombings, assassinations, hijackings, and hostage-takings occurred.”

  1. The headline is misleading. Clare Lopez is a former CIA agent and she works with Frank Gaffney.

    Her making charges like this is like me making charges like this.

    No surprise at all.

    I agree with her, however. Gotta be clear about that.
