Learning. Tell us what you know. Reporter yes, so in the criminal complaint that was released by the u. S. Attorneys, it is six individuals. What the fbi details is an extensive plot involving several individuals, groups who talked about kidnapping the governor, talked about overthrowing the government and using other people in the plot to conduct this activity. Whats notable in this, the fbi caught onto the group in early 2020 through social media, they were able to infiltrate the group, used several human sources, paid confidential human sources, but then also used undercovers to infiltrate the group.

The root cause of the Terror Threat according to David Cameron is islamic extremism which cameron calls a quote, unquote poisonous political ideology supported by a minority. It believes in using the most brutal forms of terrorism to force people to accept a warped world view and to live in an almost medieval state. A state in which its own citizens would suffer unimaginable brutality, including barbaric beheadings of those that refuse to convert to their warped version of islam, enslavement, raping of women, and widespread slaughter of muslims by fellow muslims and of course exporting of terrorism abroad.
