Eco-militants the biggest threat, says FBI
The FBI appears to have al-Qa’ida and the Mafia sewn up and has reset it’s target on eco-terrorism, reports The Independent, quoting John Lewis, the agency’s deputy assistant director for counter-terrorism:
“There is nothing else going on in this country over the past several years that is racking up the high number of violent crimes and terrorist actions,” he told senators…In Italy, however, the Mafia still poses a problem, running its operations successfully from within jail, where inmates pass on instructions to other family members while being video-recorded by the authorities.
...The chairman of the senate committee, the Republican James Inhofe of Oklahoma, added to the sense of alarm, agreeing with Mr Lewis that killings might be next…
...And evoking language more normally heard in connection with al-Qa’ida, Senator Inhofe urged the FBI to seek out the money pipeline funding the groups.
