Bookstores, cafes and the Internet are breeding grounds for a new wave of free agent, homegrown terrorists who are every bit as deadly as the foreign operatives behind the 9/11 attacks, according to a chilling NYPD intelligence report released today.
"A dangerous radicalization process is turning frustrated young Muslim men into potential killers who easily blend into society," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said after releasing the report.
"The people who take this path come from all walks of life," Kelly said at a news conference. "We cant know who for certain will take the radicalization process to its ultimate end, but we can trace their movement through distinct phases along this path."
Kelly's assessment was backed by an intelligence assessment by NYPD terror analysts, which examined domestic plots thwarted since the 2001 World Trade Center attack. http://www.nypost.com/seven/08152007/news/regionalnews/nypd_eyes_new_radicalized_wave_regionalnews_philip_messing_and_leonard_greene.htm
