The Fort Hood attack is the third instance this year in which American military personnel in the United States have been targeted by people reportedly opposed to U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorism experts said.
Investigators are seeking to determine the motivations of the Fort Hood suspect, Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, in part to understand whether his alleged actions fit in with what experts see as an emerging pattern of plots developed by U.S. citizens or residents rather than foreign attackers.
Federal prosecutors in September charged two North Carolina men for allegedly conspiring to kill personnel at the U.S. Marine Corps base at Quantico, seeking to attack U.S. forces at home if they could not overseas. In June, Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, an American Muslim convert, allegedly shot and killed one soldier and wounded another at a military recruiting center at Little Rock, Ark., in what he said was retaliation for U.S. counterterrorism policies worldwide.
Also this year, the last of five men was sentenced in April to 33 years in prison for planning to kill soldiers at Fort Dix, N.J., a plot inspired by foreign terrorist groups.
Overall, U.S. authorities have disclosed at least 10 domestic terrorist cases in the last year -- the most since 2001 -- in what analysts say is a disturbing spike that suggests the likelihood of incidents is growing. The suspects range from unskilled individuals ensnared in FBI stings after trying to obtain guns and explosives to people allegedly trained in Pakistan by al-Qaeda and preparing homemade bombs like those used in terrorist attacks in London and Madrid.
Terrorism analysts say that the would-be assailants in such plots are not foreign infiltrators, such as the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers, but instead are U.S. citizens...

Look you retards, given that the second generation muzzies in the UK and Europe easily buy into Wahabbist Jhadi crap means that it’s likely to occur in the US among the same populace. Would you please start some profiling?
I had to go to the link to see if this was satire.
It was actually a real article.
The inmates are running the asylum, or at least the newsletter for the asylum.
Obviously the spin talking points have been issued to the MSN by Axelrod from the heady precincts of the White House.
We need to change the language. I laugh about all the descriptions of this incident.
Words are used like shootings , killings , ( couched in terms as if the victims could shoot back.)
This happened at a med facility where there was a long cue for flu shots and other medical processing.The perpetrator calmly got to his feet , reached into his jacket, drew his 5.7 mm FN pistol and calmly started walking down the rows of people , pointing his weapon and shooting them calmly, point blank, in cold blood.
This was not “shootings” This was not “killings.” This was genocidal execution. These human beings were dispatched as if they were animals.One woman was 6 months pregnant.
TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH. GENOCIDAL EXECUTION is what this was.
The same sort that happened in Kenya , courtesy of Obama’s tinkering there, in 2007.
OBAMA’S FAULT!!!!!!!
THIS WAS AN ACT OF RELIGIOUS GENOCIDE.
THIS WAS A WAR CRIME.
...but don't jump conclusions
In the beginning they were Islamic Terrorists (9/11), became just terrorists … now they have evolved to become “antiwar radicals”, what next, saviors of the world?
Call them what they are, couldn’t upset them any more than they already are. Using PC terminology only makes them laugh just that much harder while they kill us.
Antiwar radical? LOL!! This Hsu guy on CAIR’s payroll? Put him on the traitor list.
bookmarked
They are Muslims. WA Post is such a piece of sh*T. The largest shareholder is Warren Buffett.
Well Obama’s buddy Ayers was doing and advocating the same thing
Speechless.
Translation: The terrorists primary motivation here is revenge for Bush's unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As Reverend Wright and Ward Churchill would say, these latest killings are another example of America's chickens coming home to roost. Radical Islam is not at war with America. Radical Islam is just a fantasy of racist right wingers.
In some ways, Fort Hood investigators face a challenge that parallels what investigators encountered after the bombing of the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995, trying to determine what motivated bombers Timothy J. McVeigh and Terry L. Nichols and whether they were part of a larger threat.
Whenever you start to think the MSM could not possibly sink any lower, it will always prove you wrong.
The article says that Tim McVey was an officer......I don’t remember that .......anyone else remember?
Grunt
and wiki is our friend
In May 1988, McVeigh enlisted in the U.S. Army.[17] He had little interest in the bar scene, preferring to use his spare time to read about guns, sniper tactics, or explosives.[18] He once ordered a “White Power” T-shirt from the KKK in protest against black servicemen who wore “Black Power” T-shirts around his army camp [19], but was reprimanded.
He was a decorated veteran of the United States Army, having served in the Gulf War, where he was awarded a Bronze Star. He had been a top-scoring gunner with the 25mm cannon of the Bradley Fighting Vehicles used by the U.S. 1st Infantry Division to which he was assigned. He served at Fort Riley, Kansas, before Operation Desert Storm. At Fort Riley, McVeigh completed the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC). McVeigh later would say that the Army taught him how to switch off his emotions.[6] He had special lifesaving training and may have saved the life of a comrade who had life-threatening shrapnel wounds.[20]
McVeigh wanted to join the United States Army Special Forces. After returning from the Gulf War, he entered the selection program for United States Army Special Forces to become a SF soldier , but was quickly dropped from the program after failing to meet the physical fitness requirements. Shortly thereafter, McVeigh decided to leave the Army. He was discharged on December 31, 1991.[21] McVeigh was given an honorable discharge from the Army Reserve in May 1992.
If this idiot had been wearing an I Kill Unbelievers 4 the Glory of Allah t-shirt, they'd still be going, "Whuh-whuh-why did he do this?"
Islamic Terrorist?
Huh?
NO, the perpetrators are Antiwar Radicals!
Can you believe this????
Just who is the Washington Post trying to fool???????
Hmmm??
And do all those ridiculously perky newspeople on TV really think that they are gaining audience by stating again & again & again, that there is NO MOTIVE for Dr. Hasan's TERRORIST ATTACK ON FORT HOOD?????
Sputter!
Right now CNN is stating that shooting rampages happen often in the USA -- Can you believe this???
Sputter!!
And now the jerk on CNN is telling about shootings on military bases, and instead of giving the names of the perps --- he is saying, "killed by their COMRADE."
yep -- no name, but called "comrade."
So much for Islamic radicals.
