FBI Tracking 100 Suspected Islamic Extremists in US Military - Dozen Cases Considered 'Serious'

FBI Tracking 100 Suspected Islamic Extremists in US Military

Dozen Cases Considered 'Serious'

(Newser) – The FBI has tracked some 100 people within the US military suspected of being Islamic extremists, with a dozen of the cases considered "serious," reports NPR. These involve individuals who appear to have demonstrated a "strong intent" to attack military targets. The "insider threats" include both active and reserve military members, but also people who have access to military facilities such as contractors or relatives with special ID cards. The information was revealed in a closed-door House-Senate committee hearing late last year, according to three sources.

"I was surprised and struck by the numbers; they were larger than I expected," said Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, who declined to confirm the numbers. Just last year an AWOL Muslim soldier was charged with plotting an attack on Fort Hood soldiers—intended to exact "justice" for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. People within the military "aren't just your run-of-the-mill jihadis," a Georgetown University counterterrorism expert warns. "These are people who have access to guns and to bases and are supposed to have security clearances. This is not the community you want to be radicalizing."

Too politically incorrect and too easy. They will hold onto them until they commit an act of treason...then they will let them go because they are a minority (or at least politically favored).

You forget who heads our DOJ and who HE reports to. They’re both criminals and traitors - if we don’t take a seriously devastating Islamic hit before November, it’ll be a f***ing miracle.

What are muslims doing in our Armed Forces when it is fighting a war against Islam? Any of them with a crypto clearance?

Did we have nazis in the military during WWII?

Maybe the moozlums are homosexuals or transsexuals? Then it would be wrong to “harass” them, wouldn’t it? Maybe they participated in this week’s celebration of homosexuality by the US military command. Who are we to judge? nobama is a genius, isn’t he? nobama obviously loves America and does what’s best for the country...No??????

Hell, our COMMISSARY is staffed and stocked by workers that look to me like they could be from anywhere ...they definitely do not look like your run of the mill military family members. I have NO idea how these people get on base to apply to work there!

“Hell, our COMMISSARY is staffed and stocked by workers that look to me like they could be from anywhere”

We were waiting form a flight in Seattle a couple weeks ago and I noticed that the ground crew working on the tarmac to clean or stock a United flight had a bunch of women with head coverings — clearly Islamic. One was the checkered Palestinian scarf.
