American Authorities Fear Terror Networks Already in US

After years of undercover work, the U.S. is starting to pull back the veil on what appear to be loose-knit, perhaps deeply rooted networks of would-be terrorists who support each other even as many prepare to act alone.

Heightening the concern, these complex webs of connections and support seem to span several years and often cut across the ideological lines that delineate one terror group from another.

“Increasingly, the FBI’s had a lot of these,” according to a law enforcement official familiar with one of the more recent cases. “I think it is going on nationally.”

The official, speaking to VOA on condition of anonymity, also said it was clear that “a lot of this predated ISIL,” using an acronym for the Islamic State terror group.

Well what did they expect?? You let in all these ILLEGAL aliens and your vetting process sucks. You do not open your door to strangers without thoroughly checking them out first. If you would notice most of the people you see on the news crossing borders are able bodied men.

There is already a terror network in the White House, State Department and Justice Department. And don't forget the IRS as well as the Department of Education. How is that for starters.
