As the FBI increases surveillance of
potential homegrown Muslim terrorists, the security threat level also has been
raised at US military bases. The FBI has ordered more domestic Muslim terror
suspects to be put under 24/7 surveillance in the wake of the Garland, Texas
Islamic terrorist attack and a renewed emphasis by ISIS and other Islamic
terror groups for potential American recruits to launch attacks at home,
according to three FBI officials.
The officials told ABC News that agents have been ordered to review the
cases of so-called “marginal” or “borderline” Muslim suspects, terms that had
been applied to one of the gunmen in the Texas attack, Elton Simpson of
Phoenix. FBI agents were familiar with Simpson and the views he espoused, but
he was not put under 24/7 surveillance. He was viewed as being “more talk than
action,” one agent said.
“We do not want to risk another
marginal, homegrown Muslim extremist who was viewed as dangerous going active,”
said one of the FBI officials. All three FBI officials spoke on the condition
of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. Agents are now
reviewing cases and “gauging” how many more targets should be placed under 24/7
surveillance.
