The Shocking Number of Islamist Terror Attacks Against the US Rises

The Heritage Foundation is regrettably adding three more terrorist plots to the list of Islamist terrorists plots or attacks against the U.S. homeland since 9/11, bringing the total to 89.

The first plot to be added was committed by 21-year-old Munir Abdulkader, who, according to documents recently unsealed by the Department of Justice, pled guilty to planning an attack on police officers and a member of the military in southern Ohio. Because the arrest was in May 2015, this plot will be added as the 71st plot on the U.S. since 9/11.

Beginning in July 2014, Abdulkader started expressing his support for ISIS on Twitter. By May 2015, Abdulkader was in communication with a member of ISIS overseas, Junaid Hussain. Hussain directed Abdulkader to forego traveling to Syria and launch a domestic attack within the U.S.
