From Emergency Management:
The September arrests/detentions in Australia of suspected Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) supporters who had allegedly been planning to kidnap random people, decapitate them and then drape their bodies in the group’s flag and post the entire horrific event live to the Internet has brought to the forefront one of the most serious yet least discussed scenarios in counterterrorism. We term it “Main Street terrorism” and by that we mean terror attacks not on a grand scale, but multiple small attacks carried out by individuals or very small groups in environments where we have traditionally felt safe.
