Terrorism - a major threat to the US in 2016
14/1/16
Terrorism will continue to be a major threat in the US
in 2016, with the presence of forces "Islamic State" (IS) which is
making global influence.
According to experts, the recent attacks in Paris
(France) made 130 deaths have shown the fact that the IS has developed strong
and capable of carrying out deadly attacks on Western countries. In the US, the
most serious threat is not conducting the campaign against terrorism but rather
preventing the spread of the ideology of radical Islam. The rhetoric of this
organization has attracted many adherents worldwide. The attack in San
Bernardino, USA in earlier December 2015, two attackers were believed to be
affected by the IS.
Wayne White, former deputy director of the Middle East
Intelligence Bureau of the US State Department, said with so many vulnerable
targets, the US government as well as local authorities are facing difficulty
to stop the wave of terrorism from "lone wolves" or the separate
groups. In addition, the termination of the data collection program of the
National Security Agency (NSA) in late October 2015 also slowed espionage.
Dan Mahaffee, an analyst from the Centre for Research for
the President and the National Assembly, considered that the IS has a strong
presence on social media networks, while the US and its allies have not had
effective countermeasures. Colin P. Clarke, an expert at the RAND Institute for
Strategic Studies, said that the current challenge is having no specific
direction to eradicate Islamic extremism. Meanwhile, members of Brookings Darrell
West Institution said anti-terrorism efforts of the US today is a synthesis of
many instant reaction.
Terrorist and extremist Islamic elements have become
top concerns of the American people after the bloody attacks in Paris and an
attack in the state of California that made 14 victims killed. IS has also
repeatedly threatened to attack the US. The worst nightmare of Washington is a
repetition of the terrible event on September 11, 2001 making nearly 3,000 dead
people.
