FBI Official Spotlights Islamist Terror Threats – The IPT Blog
Mark F. Giuliano assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, painted a troubling portrait of the jihadist threat in a Thursday afternoon address. Speaking to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Giuliano focused on two particular dangers: al-Qaida and homegrown Islamist terror.
Giuliano said the most serious threat to the American homeland comes from al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Leaders of the group like Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan “have published articles on the Internet detailing their intent to strike the United States,” he said.
