"White Americans are the biggest terror threat in the United States, according to a study by the New America Foundation. The Washington-based research organization did a review of “terror” attacks on US soil since Sept. 11, 2001 and found that most of them were carried out by radical anti-government groups or white supremacists.
Almost twice as many people have died in attacks by right-wing groups in America than have died in attacks by Muslim extremists. "
Increasingly, American terrorists attacks have been about race and many attacks on college campuses are non-violent and involve derogatory names and slurs on dorm doors and in public places, as threats and warnings from unknown sources. Some American terrorists attacks that targeted blacks have resulted in death and injury. In Minneapolis, MN last week, while marching for justice in the case of a youth shot by a police officer, a group of black protesters were deliberately struck by a car with four white supremacists inside. The planned attack injured 5 people. All 4 criminals were rounded up the next day and arrested.
On June 17, 2015, a young white man attended a prayer meeting at a historic African-American church in Charleston, and after shoot and killed 9 members inside the church (the oldest, 86; the youngest, 24), including the church's pastor. His website indicated that he wanted to start a race war and had deliberated targeted the church to trigger hate.
In the mean time, Pakistan is being ignored by the major nations as a target source of nuclear weaponry and material for bombs. Putting Pakistan on the back burner may turn out to be a mistake. Many areas of the country are not governed by the existing state. Their independence of ties to the central government make these regions preferring stating areas (from drugs to weapons), a historic role that began in the fight against Soviet occupation. Its focus could shift to Pakistan's nuclear weapons.
