Chairman McCaul Releases New Monthly "Terror Threat Snapshot'

Statement

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul today released a new Committee product called the Terror Threat Snapshot. The snapshot is a new, regular monthly feature, that tracks the escalating and grave threat environment facing the United States. The Terror Threat Snapshot will be kept up to date on the Committee's website. Additionally, monthly summaries will be available.

Chairman McCaul: "Terror threats to the U.S. homeland have reached unprecedented levels. There have been 116 homegrown jihadist plots in America since 9/11-- more than half of those have occurred in just the past three years. Violent Extremism is going viral, but our response to it is moving at bureaucratic, sluggish speed. It is time for President Obama to admit that--in this new age of peer-to-peer terror--we need a real strategy to combat radicalization at home and destroy extremist safe havens abroad."
