WASHINGTON (AFP) â The number of attempted attacks against the United States in the past nine months has surpassed the number of attempts during any other previous one-year period, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo, CNN said.
The DHS assessment dated May 21, and reported on the CNN website late Wednesday, said extremist groups were expected to attempt more attacks inside the United States with increased frequency.
The unclassified memo prepared for US law enforcement agencies urged authorities to operate under the premise that other operatives are in the country and could advance plotting with little or no warning.
Highlighting recent cases of militants living in the country for years, as they radicalized, plotted and attempted to carry out attacks, the memo also warns of a reduced ability to track them -- such as Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad, suspected in the attempted Times Square bombing earlier this month.
