The FBI is arresting a lot of lone wolf would-be terrorists. (http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-06-25/fbi-rounding-up-islamic-state-suspects) They are typically caught when they try to get outside help. They have little chance of causing a spectacular terrorist attack, but can conduct small arms attacks.


The FBI has been rounding up more potential "lone wolf" terrorists, Congressional leaders and the Justice Department say, in response to the perception of a mounting threat of domestic attacks inspired by the Islamic State.


Since the thwarted attack on a "Draw Mohammed" conference in Garland, Texas, on May 3, the Justice Department has announced the arrests of 10 individuals it says were inspired by and supporting the Islamic State. The lawmakers say there have been more arrests that have not yet been announced.


They say the FBI has shifted its approach toward arrests rather than keeping suspects under surveillance, and is also targeting individuals thought to be planning attacks in the U.S., unlike the bureau's past focus on volunteers preparing to join ISIS's fight abroad.
