Rep. Myrick Connects the Dots of the Recent US Terror Plots

“There is no current evidence that materially connects any of the terror plots recently revealed. However, I have taken sentences directly from FBI press releases, and FBI investigative documents, and highlighted the clear connection below. These plots are all tied together by one thing: a global ideology that is self-identified by its believers as jihadist, or “jihadiyya”. It is hard to ignore this fact when in these cases below several of these men very clearly, and very directly, state that they followed this ideology (jihad), and wanted to kill.

I find this connection disturbing seeing as these plots come on the heels of the Administration's efforts to rename 'jihadists' - which is what they call themselves - 'violent extremists'."

- US Rep. Sue Myrick
