U.S. law enforcement officials say they have identified more than two dozen "clusters" of young Muslim men in the northeast United States who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror, ABC News has learned.
"Any one of those clusters may be capable of carrying out a terrorist action that will result in fatalities," Rand Corporation terrorism expert Brian Jenkins tells ABC News.
In a report to be made public today, New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly concludes the 9/ll attacks were an "anomaly" and the most serious terror threat to the country comes from clusters of "unremarkable" individuals who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror.
The report by the NYPD intelligence division, "Radicalization in the West and the Homegrown Threat," plots "the trajectory of radicalization" and tracks the path of a non-radicalized individual to an individual with the willingness to commit an act of terror, multiple sources say.
"The threat is real; this is not some bogey man we are creating here. There are individuals who are proselytizing, inciting angry young men to go down this path," said Jenkins, who reviewed and contributed to the NYPD report.
The report identifies mosques, bookstores, cafes, prisons and flop houses as what it calls "radicalization incubators" that provide "extremist fodder or fuel for radicalization."
The leader of an American Arab civil rights group labeled the NYPD report as "unfortunate stereotyping" and at odds with federal law enforcement findings that the threat from homegrown terrorists was minimal.

Amen!
But, alas, it won't happen.
How can they call 9/11 an anomaly when the same buildings were attacked previously, just not as successfully.
Gosh, I hope they don’t “violate their civil rights”
I hope they don’t use warrantless wiretaps to catch them...
Just can’t be true; Hillary, Pelosi, Feinstein, Murtha, Schumer, Reid and the rest of the Congressional morons don’t believe in terrorists. It’s all Bush’s fault!
I guess they mohammadens don't have any "Bakeries" in the North East.

Some of them were, but that is the group we got the term “IED” from with their bombings. Their goals were also the same as the current terrorists. Not really a whole lot of difference.
No, they weren't Muslims, but they were aligned with the guerilla (terrorist) groups of their day.
Did any of them blow themselves up for their cause?
I don't think so... even Kerry's VVAW didn't target civilians.
Putting agents in Mosques and taping what’s said? That sounds so.......French.
1. You may think it is, but sadly it isn’t. The moratorium on Mohammedans that should have happened after 9/11 never did.
2. www.prophetofdoom.net will help educate you about the true nature of our enemy/
They did by accident once or twice. Remember H Rap Brown and Anglea Davis?
Most of the bombings did target civilians. I investigated several.
Left out collage campuses and certain (Muslim modified) public schools.
Visit Paterson, NJ.
H. Rap Brown?
Didn’t he kill a cop and end up in jail, finally?
What an idiotic statement comparing Christianity to Islam.
Christianity is a religion of love, light , peace and life. Islam is a cult of hatred and death.
Can you point out which Christian "denomination" advocates flying planes into buildings, killing innocent people, abusing women and openly advocating "submission" of the entire humanity?
READ New Testament and READ Koran before you express any opinions regarding "Peaceful Islam" on this forum.
“Why ignore all those young Mormon, Mennonite, and Buddhist men on a path that could lead to homegrown terror?”
Because there aren’t any? ;-)
Sura 9:5 of the “Koran,” “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.”
Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not. -Surah 2:216
“Strike off their [infidel’s] heads. Strike off their finger-tips! … because they defied God and his Apostle [Muhammad].” (Sura 8:12-13)
Make war on them [infidels] until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme.” (Sura 2:193)
“Seize them and put them to death wherever you find them.” (Sura 4:89)
Nice and friendly little "religion they got there, dont they!
