A secret FBI study
found that anger over U.S. military operations abroad was the most
commonly cited motivation for individuals involved in cases of
“homegrown” terrorism. The report also identified no coherent pattern to
“radicalization,” concluding that it remained near impossible to
predict future violent acts.
The study, reviewed by The Intercept, was conducted in 2012 by a unit
in the FBI’s counterterrorism division and surveyed intelligence
analysts and FBI special agents across the United States who were
responsible for nearly 200 cases, both open and closed, involving
“homegrown violent extremists.” The survey responses reinforced the
FBI’s conclusion that such individuals “frequently believe the U.S.
military is committing atrocities in Muslim countries, thereby
justifying their violent aspirations.”https://theintercept.com/2016/10/11/us-military-operations-are-biggest-motivation-for-homegrown-terrorists-fbi-study-finds/
