Terrorism Threat To U.S. Continues Strong, Commission Warns
Ten years after its first report, the 9/11 Commission has issued a new one “reflecting the evolving and dangerous terrorist threat facing the nation.” Homeland Security Watch (HSW) notes that the new report reflects “mounting threats from the resurgence and transformation of al Qaeda, the situation in Syria and a rapidly changing cyber landscape.” With the 9/11 commission calling for, in HSW’s words, “a vigorous and proactive counterterrorism effort,” it isn’t getting any friendlier out there folks.
