THE GROWING LIST OF ISLAMIST ATTACKS IN THE US. Investor's Business Daily notes that contrary to those who say that the threat of terror cells is a purely European phenomenon:
In addition to the Muslim snipers who terrorized the Washington area for weeks on the first anniversary of 9/11, the U.S. has been plagued by dozens of terror attacks or disrupted plots over the past several years, including:
  • The "Lackawanna Six" from upstate New York who were caught training for terror with al-Qaida overseas.

  • The Columbus, Ohio, trucker who helped al-Qaida case the Brooklyn Bridge for attack.

  • The Los Angeles man who fatally shot two and wounded three at an Israeli airline ticket counter at LAX.

  • The New Yorker found guilty of plotting to blow up a Manhattan subway station.

  • The Lodi, Calif., native who trained with al-Qaida in Pakistan to blow up fellow Americans at supermarkets.

  • The three black Muslim converts from Torrance, Calif., jailed for plotting to attack Army recruiting stations and synagogues.

  • The Virginia jihadists busted for training to kill U.S. soldiers overseas.

  • The San Francisco Muslim who took his SUV on a hit-and-run killing spree.

  • The black Muslim cell in Miami which plotted to attack the Sears Tower.

  • The jihadist who went on a shooting rampage at a Jewish community center in Seattle, announcing "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel."

  • The Fort Dix Six who planned to penetrate the New Jersey base as pizza delivery men, then open fire on troops.

  • The black Muslim converts who recently plotted to blow up JFK airport.

  • The honors student-turned-jihadist who rented an SUV and rammed it into a crowd at the University of North Carolina.

  • The pro-Taliban operatives caught training for jihad in the Oregon woods.

  • The shotgun-toting 18-year-old Muslim who murdered five shoppers inside a Salt Lake City mall.

  • The black convert recently busted for plotting to blow up Illinois shopping malls with grenades.
And on and on.
Let's hope not.
