Student
“These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and
end a way of life. With every atrocity, they hope that America
grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our
friends. They stand against us, because we stand in their way.”
- President George Bush
What IS domestic terrorism?
Information gathered from James S. Albanese’s “The
Encyclopedia of Criminology and Criminal Justice” highlights
three of the most common forms of domestic terrorism:
1) Political
2) Ideological
3) Foreign Nationalist
The FBI defines domestic terrorism as “the unlawful use, or
threatened use, of violence by a group or individual based and
operating entirely within the United States (or its territories)
without foreign direction, committed against persons or
property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian
population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political
or social objectives.”

2. Political Domestic Terrorism
The most common political acts of domestic terrorism stem
from either far-left or far-right leaning factions. In the timespan
between 1997 and August 2017 there were a total of 3,342
deaths due to domestic terrorism.
The graph below shows that right wing terrorism was the second
deadliest cause of death by domestic terrorism, and that left-
wing domestic terrorism claimed a total of 23 lives.
(Since the beginning of 2016 deaths caused by left-wing
domestic terrorism overtook deaths caused by right-wing
domestic terrorism.)
Left-Wing Domestic Terrorist Groups
ANTIFA
The Anti-Fascist (ANTIFA) movement is an anarchist militia
group that was inspired by a World War II movement that
resisted NAZI oppression.
Antifa history, beliefs, and activity.
The modern day ANTIFA movement has seen a dwindling
amount of support from other slightly less aggressive leftist
groups movements such as “Black Lives Matter” and tend to
come into conflict with any group that they come across.
ANTIFA is classified as an anarchist movement that resurged
in Europe in the 1960s before making its way to the United

3. States in the 1970s. Its mission is based upon the belief that the
repetition of Nazi occupation can only be prevented through
active aggression. Over time, ANTIFA have broadened the
definition of fascism to include anybody who either supports
conservative political efforts, supports President Donald Trump,
or both.
ANTIFA are known for violent, and often misguided, counter-
protests that have even escalated to the point where they’ve
assaulted themselves by mistake.
Often times police and other peacekeeping groups are targeted
by ANTIFA while attempting to stem the violence between them
and the groups that they counter-protest. ANTIFA counter-
protests are notorious for physical violence, provocation,
arrests, and damage to property as well as desecration of the
American flag.
Violent acts committed by antifa
In January of 2017, Antifa members violently took to the streets
of downtown Washington D.C. Six police officers were injured
and 217 Antifa members were arrested.
In February of 2017, Antifa members (in conjunction with
“Black Bloc” members) caused over $100,000 in damages to the
campus at the University of California at Berkeley. At least six
members sustained injuries.
In March of 2017, Antifa Counter-protest efforts turned violent
as 10 Antifa members were arrested. Four of those arrested were
arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
Thirteen Antifa members were arrested during a counter-protest
to a pro-Trump rally. Police were able to confiscate sticks,
knives, flagpoles, helmets and more.

4. 25 arrests were made when Antifa members set fire to the
streets in Portland, Oregon. Police property was damaged and
vandalized. Officers themselves were assaulted with various
projectiles that included rocks, ball bearings, and fireworks.
During the Charlottesville riots in August of 2017 six people
were injured and two were hospitalized.
Right wing terrorist groups
Right wing (alt-Right) terrorism
Right wing terrorism has a long history that is ripe with racism
and white supremacy, but there is still a crucial political
advantage to be had. Right wing terrorists almost always have
an ultra-conservative base and will most often times align
themselves with policies that best suit their agenda. Alt-right
rallies have always found their place in the political scene to
this day.
It’s common for right wing terrorists to adhere to multiple
militant right wing groups such as Neo-Nazis, Klansmen, and
skinheads.

5. The facts.
In 2017, 18 out of 34 extremist killings were committed by far -
right radicals according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Over the past decade, 71% of extremist killings have been
carried out by right-wing radicals.
2017 was the fifth deadliest year for domestic terrorism since
the year 1970.
In multiple cases, right wing extremists have aligned themselves
with multiple extremist groups.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, right-wing terror
incidents are most often motivated by white supremacy or anti-
government beliefs.
American Nazi party (ANP)
Founded in 1959 by George Lincoln Rockwell and based in
Virginia, the American Nazi Party is established as an alt-right
political organization aimed at implementing fascist policies
with its main political objectives being based around racist,
anti-semitic, and homophobic foundations. American Nazi Party
members (better known as “Neo-Nazis”) place a firm emphasis
on white supremacy and have historically been known to
commit violent acts against minorities.
During the ANP’s rise in the the 1960s, TIME magazine
reported that there were initially between twenty to one hundred
active APN members. During Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have
a Dream” speech in Washington D.C. it was reported that fewer
than one hundred Neo-Nazis participated in counter-protest, and
that police arrested the only Neo-Nazi who attempted to make a
speech.

6. THE ANP TODAY
In May of 2017, Jason Keller, a devout white supremacist and
alt-right activist, organized the “Unite the Right” rally in
Charlottesville, Virginia. The theme of the rally was to promote
white supremacy as well as protest the city council’s decision to
remove confederate statues and other confederate historical
monuments.
The rally was immediately met by counter-protestors. Because
of the violence that ensued on both sides, police were forced to
end the rally shortly after it had begun.
As events progressed, a man by the name of James Fields, a
known Nazi Sympathizer, drove his car into a crowd of counter
protestors killing one and injuring nineteen others.
According to a Washington POST ABC poll held after the
Charlottesville rally, it is estimated that upwards of 22 million
Americans view white supremacist or Nazi ideals as acceptable.
Jeremy Christian, a known Neo-Nazi activist, stabbed three men
who attempted to stop him from insulting Muslim teenage girls.
Two of those men passed.
Ideological terrorism
Animal liberation front
(A.l.f)
The Animal Liberation Front became increasingly active in the
1980s more so than it did in the 1970s when it was founded by
Ronnie Lee.

7. The Animal Liberation Front states that its ultimate objective is
to end animal abuse. ALF members have been known to attempt
to accomplish this task by any means necessary. ALF is
notorious for destruction to property, unlawful entry, and arson.
ALF members act anonymously and adhere to “leaderless
resistance”. The group as a whole has no established leadership
and vows non-violence towards animal life, both human and
non-human.
In 2006 ALF activists placed a Molotov cocktail on the wrong
property that was intended for UCLA researcher Lynn Fairbank.
A year prior, ALF claimed to have targeted Corpus Christi
College when another incendiary was instead discovered at
Christ Church College. 2006 also saw the arrest of Donald
Currie, an important asset to ALF due to his bomb crafting
skills. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison. In 2008 ALF set
fire to Edythe London’s home in Los Angeles. ALF are most
well known for their death threats and targeting of individuals.
In 1991 ALF was named a domestic terrorist group and were
once again rated as such by the Department of Homeland
Security in 2005.
Environmental liberation front
(E.L.F)
The Environmental Liberation Front started catching the
country’s attention in the 1990s on account of several bombing
and arson attacks on mines and logging companies. Modern day
ELF members have expanded to torching vehicles on private
property, causing millions of dollars in damages to companies,
and have burned colleges and apartment complexes.
In similar fashion to the Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F), the
Environmental Liberation Front has no organized leadership, or
hardly any leadership whatsoever. Everything they communicate

8. to the public is delivered through their website, and attacks are
usually done and claimed anonymously.
In an archived transcript from James F. Jarboe, a former FBI
Domestic Terrorism Section Chief, admitted that environmental
terrorism is one of the most pressing forms of terrorism to date.
Religious terrorism
The threat of militant religious ideology continues to rise after
9/11, an event which many know to be the most significant act
of domestic terrorism in US history.
Religious terrorism has played a part in domestic terrorism in
more ways than one. One of the most pressing issues
concerning religious terrorism is the Islamic radicalization of
the youth. Radical religious terrorist groups like ISIS are
quickly adopting a virtual recruitment platform in order to
attract potential jihadists from abroad. This involves the
indoctrination of youth by supplying them with what many
Muslims deem to be a demented interpretation of Islam.
According to the “Combating Terrorism Center” at West Point,
at least 8 out of 38 Islamist inspired attacks between March, 1,
2014 and March , 1, 2017 have involved some form of domestic
terrorism. This type of online activity has led to several attacks
on nearly every continent including the continental United
States. Since 2014 there have been over 82 ISIS inspired
killings in the US. There was an ISIS beheading in Moore,
Oklahoma in 2014 as well as a 3 month killing spree from
Washington to New Jersey that same year. Other religious
attacks include the 11 killings at abortion clinics by self-
claimed Christians.

9. Foreign nationalist TERRORISM
The statistics
On January 16, 2018, the Department of Homeland Security and
the Department of Justice released a statement that three-fourths
of individuals convicted of international terrorism between 2001
and 2016 were foreign born. Most never became U.S. citizens.
More than 150 Americans have been charged with terroristic
activity linking them to the Islamic-State. This includes cases
like the case involving Mohamed Elshinawy who was supplied
thousands of dollars by ISIS in order to fund an attack that was
thwarted by the Department of Homeland Security.
Orlando attack
In 2016, a 29 year old man by the name of Omar Mateen,
single-handedly killed 49 people at Pulse nightclub in Orlando,
Florida. After the first stage of his attack he reportedly called
emergency services and swore allegiance to ISIS. In May 2013,
Omar was interrogated by the FBI but was later released. The
next year he was interrogated again after an associate of his
joined the Nusrah Front in order to become a suicide bomber.
Boston marathon bombing
On April 15, 2013 two bombs went off at the finish line during
the 117th Boston Marathon. The blast killed three people and
wounded 260 others. Sixteen people received amputations. The
Tsarnaev brothers were both partially raised in the Soviet

10. republic of Kyrgyzstan.
Dzhokar Tsarnaev (aged 19) was captured while his older
brother, Tamerian Tsarnaev, died in a shootout with police. The
brothers used pressure cooker bombs hidden in backpacks that
would detonate within moments of each other.
The brothers shot and killed 27 year old officer Sean Collier
dead in his patrol car at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology’s campus in Cambridge. They then stole an SUV at
gun point. They were not found to be connected to any terrorist
groups and operated on their own.
9/11 Attacks
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists loyal to Al-Qaeda carried
out a three-pronged operation that would go down as the most
devastating terrorist attack in United States History. Aerial
suicide attacks demolished the World Trade Center in New York
City, tore through the west side of the Pentagon in Washington
D.C., and Flight 93 crashed in a field in Shanksville,
Pennsylvania after passengers learned of events in New York
and Washington D.C.. They forced flight 93 into a downward
crash at speeds of over 500 miles per hour. All 44 people
onboard flight 93 were killed at 10:10 am.
2,763 people died at the World Trade Center and 189 people
died at the Pentagon. The resulting reaction from the United
States of America would spark the beginning of a war lasting
almost two decades.
Domestic terrorism prevention

11. According to the Department of Homeland Security, their
mission includes “…preventing terrorism and enhancing
security; managing our borders; administering immigration
laws; securing cyberspace; and ensuring disaster resilience.”
The Department of Homeland Security is a joint effort between
22 federal departments and agencies. The combination of these
departments forms the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). On October 8, 2001 executive order 13228 was issued
by President Bush. This executive order would determine
homeland security policy and initiate the creation of the
Department of Homeland Security. The Homeland Security
Advisory Council was established on March 21, 2002.
Threat prevention today
Domestic terrorist attacks can come in many forms that include
chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive
weapons, and cyber attacks. The DHS states that their main
approach to preventing domestic terrorism involves enhancing
their ability to detect explosives, safeguarding cyber networks
and “critical infrastructure”, and to nurture relationships that
promote the sharing of information. This involves cooperation
with international partners in the hopes of collecting intel that
will lead to the prevention of an attack.
By 2015 the Department of Homeland Security claimed to have
foiled over 60 ISIS-related attack attempts in the US.
The Department of Homeland Security works in conjunction
with the Department’s Office for Community Partnerships
(OCP) to combat terroristic threats by conducting targeted
threat briefings. This organization operates in accordance with
state and local authorities in order really information from the

12. street level to Washington. The Department of Homeland
Security utilizes several awareness programs to stay ahead of
terrorists. These programs include the National Network of
Fusions Center and the National Terrorism Advisory System.
These programs gather information, tips, and reports that can be
compiled in order to establish a plan of action to stop terrorists.
They also help alert the public to possible and ongoing attacks.
Suggested Domestic terrorism prevention tips
The New York State police released a series of tips that can be
practiced on an individual and community level.
Individuals should know how to contact emergency services
and report suspicious activity. The individual person should
also have emergency supplies set aside in case of a significant
attack that may require him/her to assist others.
Communities should establish community watch teams and
make an effort to familiarize themselves with each other.
Training and seminar events should be held to enhance
community members’ abilities to effectively protect themselves
against terrorism.
Schools should have reliable security cameras and volunteer
emergency relief teams. Also, assemble an emergency reaction
team that’s intended to meet and neutralize threats as they
appear.
