| Home-Grown Terror: American Jihadist Wannabes Flock To Isis-Like Groups In Iraq And Syria |
| 2014-06-22 |
| [NYDailyNews] Mohammedan American snuffies from coast to coast, including New York City, head overseas to train for jihad — and NYPD's terror chief is concerned about when they come back. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is among the groups that actively recruit foreigners to join their jihadist ranks. Mohammedan American snuffies have joined similar groups. They're the potential killers next door learning to become jihadists in a factory of turbans whose ultimate target is New York City. More than 100 young home-grown Mohammedans, including some from Gotham, are being trained to become an enemy within by Al Qaeda-inspired groups like ISIS operating in disintegrating Syria and Iraq, the NYPD's terror chief estimated. "I would be hyper-concerned about the people over there from New York City on the presumption they're going to return to New York City," John Miller, said Thursday. The NYPD's intelligence chief did not say how many New Yorkers are being schooled in terror by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, but he said they have a good idea who they are. It is very important, he added, to deny ISIS any "sanctuary." "Why did we have 9/11? Because Al Qaeda controlled real estate in Afghanistan where they had camps that allowed them to have a logistical infrastructure," he said. "You don't want that kind of sanctuary." So far, there has been no known successful terror attack on U.S. soil by an American who was radicalized overseas. |

| #2 Let all go - but none allowed to return. Better they shed blood 'over there' than in the states. |
