New York City/Chicago, Illinois
The most active perpetrators of terrorism in New York City
were Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN), a
Puerto Rican separatist group, responsible for 40 NYC attacks
in this decade. The Jewish Defense League (JDL), which
engaged in attacks against targets it perceived to be anti -
Semitic, launched 27 attacks during this period, none deadly.
Both the Independent Armed Revolutionary Commandos
(CRIA), another Puerto Rican separatist group, and Omega 7, an
anti-Castro Cuban organization, were also each responsible for
16 attacks during this period.[51]

In response to a black man not being found guilty of murdering
a white man, three members of the KKK burned a cross on the
courthouse lawn. They then picked a black person at
random, Michael Donald, who they abducted, beat, strangled
and killed; they left his body hanging from a tree. It is one of
the few times white perpetrators have been tried and found
guilty of a lynching. It is sometimes called the "Last Lynching
in America", although it was not the last random racial murder
by a white supremacist in the United States, and despite the fact
that Michael Donald was not abducted from a jail or courthouse,
as was the case with historical lynchings.

people.[138][139] On the evening of April 18 in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, an MIT campus police officer was shot and
killed while sitting in his squad car. Two suspects then
carjacked an SUV and fled to nearby Watertown, Massachusetts,
a suburb of Boston. A massive police chase ensued, resulting in
a shootout during which several IED's were thrown by the
suspects. A Boston transit police officer was critically wounded
and suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a Russian immigrant
of Chechen ethnicity, was killed. The second suspect,
Tsarnaev's younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, escaped. A
"Shelter in place" order was given for Boston, Watertown, and
surrounding areas while house-to-house searches were
conducted, but the suspect remained at large. Shortly after the
search was called off Tsarnaev was discovered hiding inside a
boat parked near the scene of the shootout. He was taken into
custody after another exchange of gunfire, treated for injuries
received during his pursuit and capture, and arraigned on
federal terrorism charges.[140][141][142][143] Preliminary
questioning indicated the Tsarnaev brothers had no ties to
terrorist organizations.[144] A note written by Dzhokhar
Tsarnaev on the boat where he was captured said the bombings
were retaliation for US actions in Iraq and Afghanistan against
Muslims.[145] On April 8, 2015, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found
guilty on all 30 counts related to the bombing and shootout with
police.[146] On May 15, 2015, Tsarnaev was sentenced to

attack.[167] Although inspired by ISIL, Mateen had no apparent

characteristic of ISIL terrorism "is to permit anyone who so
chooses to use its name to advance mutual goals, regardless of
any actual ties to the group."[166] There was no evidence that
Mateen targeted Pulse because it was a gay club or that he was
