WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The number of terrorist cases involving homegrown Islamists in the United States in 2015 is the highest since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, US House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul announced on Wednesday.
“Here in the United States there have been more terrorist cases this year involving homegrown jihadists than any full year since 9/11,” McCaul stated during a Commitee hearing on threats to national security.
McCaul noted that the Islamic State terrorist group alone has inspired or directed 17 terror plots in the United States since early 2014.
It has also been linked, he added, to more than 60 plots against targets in Western countries ranging from Canada to Australia.
