Terrorism for the Next Generation :: NewsWax: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation predicts that sub-national and non-governmental entities will play an increasing role in world affairs for years to come, presenting new “asymmetric” threats to the United States, according to a report submitted to the National Association of Chiefs of Police and other law enforcement and security organizations.
The US faces the threat of terrorism for at least the next generation, and terrorism targets will not necessarily be high profile ones such as the 9-11 attacks in the US or the British transit attacks in July 2005, claim the authors of a new book on terrorism published.
“The fact that we have not been struck since 9/11 is a combination of preemptive strikes overseas, extra measures of diligence at home … and a whole lot of good luck,” say Robert T. Jordan and Don Philpott, co-authors of “Terror — Is America Safe?”
There were over 11,000 terrorist attacks worldwide last year that killed more than 14,600 people. There hasn’t been a major terrorist incident in the United States since 9/11, but experts agree that it’s not “if,” but “when” we will be attacked in the future."
