2015. they are as follows. from iraq. zero. from iran. zero. from syria, zero. from yemen. zero. somal somalia, zero. and sudan, you guessed it, zero. incidentally that number from saudi arabia is 2,369 from the uae 216, why certain countries are on or off this list is truly mysterious. some newspapers have noted correctly that none of the muslim majority countries that have a trump hotel building or office are on the list. more broadly, it is pointed out that including 9/11, the chance of an american being killed by foreign terrorist on u.s. soil over that 41 year period is 1.36 million per year. being killed by a refugee, your
working successfully to defeat dash, as part of nato s eastern forward in europe, to defend the afghan government from terrorism and reinforcing peacekeeping operations south sudan and somal somalia, why britain is leading the way in pioneering international efforts to crack down on modern slavery one of the great scourges our country has ever found. [ applause ] i hope you will join us in that cause and i commend senator corker in particular for his work in the field and it is good to have met him here today. as americans know the united
for national security at fordham university law school. welcome. hi. we know that this kid came he s a refugee. he came in with his family from somal somalia. they lived in pakistan for a short time but is there any indication that he was radicalized over seas and somehow got into the united states? if you re a refugee, you do go through a stringent vetting process. yeah. let s remember how young he is. he is in his late teens or mid teens when he came here. and i think, you know, to say when he got radicalized, he did an interview we don t even know if he was radicalized, right? no, we don t. he did an interview before this attack talking about how he couldn t find a place to pray. it was almost like the university was too big for him coming from the community college and he was embarrassed about having to go into the corner to pray. who knows what actually the trigger was, but it does seem that it had to do with his discomfort as a muslim in the
this is a good change in policy. now the question is, why has al qaeda moved to north africa? used to be in afghanistan, and they are in mali now, yemen, somal somalia. i think the answer is pretty clear, paul, that they look to operate where there are weak governments. dysfunctional governments. they are not just sitting there, they are training, importing arms, and they are planning. they need to be left alone, so they have found a series of weak governments, or they can also recruit, that s why they were in libya, benghazi, so this is the new command headquarters for al qaeda in the world. that suggests we have to try to build up those governments, in particular in libya where the weakness of the new post-ghadafi government has allowed terrorist groups to develop and we have to keep doing that, work with local governments to get them up and running. this is part of an al qaeda strategy ever since we went after their command central in pakistan and afghanistan. they saw tha
administration for doing this and say this is a good thing. you know, as al qaeda had capture them as opposed to shoot them from drones. over the last year or two years, al qaeda s really bounced back, at the same time president obama was saying this ward is receding, they ve expanded north africa, attack from kenya from somalia, so the fact we ve captured a high value target to get the intel from him, tried to do what we did in somalia, this means we are unfortunately have to sort of take these guys on where they are. so you give, even though the raid and capturing the target terrorist in somalia failed on the weekend, you would credit the administration for trying and taking that risk? there s one other capture in somalia, who was also put on the ship, the bin laden raid, but we ve been reluctant to take these guys alive, instead killing them by drones. we need the intelligence.
