New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly believes the
Boston Marathon bombings were a type of jihad attack that is on the rise
in the United States.
“I see this as an ongoing pattern. We’ve seen these radicalized young
men do, or try to do, similar things,’’ Kelly told Newsmax TV’s “The
Steve Malzberg Show.’’
“We’ve had 16 plots here against the city, many of them involving young,
disaffected men who are committed to killing Americans.’’
Kelly said those threats have remained “relatively constant’’ and “we don’t see it waning.’’
“What we do see is a shift from the sort of organized, top-down
direction than we saw early on after 9/11 from al-Qaida to a more
free-form, do-what-you-can approach,’’ Kelly said.
“[That’s] where individuals will get, in essence, radicalized on the
Internet. They usually have someone who is a sanctioner that leads them
along or mentors them.’’
He pointed to a 2007 study conducted by two of the NYPD’s top
intelligence analysts that looked at the radicalization process of
future terrorists.
“[They are] what they call unremarkable young men who go into four phases of jihadization,’’ Kelly said.
“They’re looking for a place in the world. They’re looking for meaning,
looking for a cause. … They decide to get jihad. And after that decision
is made, they can act pretty quickly.’’
Kelly said security in New York City was heightened immediately
following the Boston Marathon explosions last week, but has since
returned to normal levels.
“We see ourselves at a higher level all the time. We invest heavily in
counterterrorism. We have 1,000 police officers … every day doing
counterterrorism duties,’’ Kelly said.
“That’s certainly a higher number, percentage-wise … than any city I’m
aware of. But, you know, there are no guarantees in this business. We
know that big cities are vulnerable. We have an open society and things
can happen here.’’
Kelly said it is still unclear as to whether the two brothers implicated in the bombings acted on their own.
“That is probably still an open question. … Two people are in custody
who sort of helped their cause after they knew that they had committed
the bombing,’’ he said.
“I’d like to have a little more time go by before we make a final
determination of that. But the initial indication is that they did it on
their own.’’
Kelly is monitoring the breaking terrorism case in Canada — in which
authorities Monday arrested two men for allegedly plotting an al-Qaida
attack on a passenger train traveling between Canada and the United
States.
“We have police agencies involved in Amtrak in the northeastern part of the country,’’ Kelly said.
“We have almost daily communication. So, the protection, if you will, on
the railroad lines in the country is probably as good as it’s ever
been. No guarantees there, either, but we’re certainly working in a
coordinated fashion.’’

USA needs to deport ALL MUSLIMS. They have a prescribed behavior pattern & JIHAD is *MANDATORY!!*
Muslims are COMMANDED by their Quran/Koran to wage Jihad. The 3 stages are:
Stage #1: STEALTH Jihad--when they're outnumbered, they promote peace & tolerance, claim 'victim status' & seek special privileges.
Stage #2: DEFENSIVE Jihad--They are strong enough to fight but not strong enough to subjugate the unbelievers; they terrorize enemies, murder critics & look for excuses to attack other groups.
STAGE #3: OFFENSIVE Jihad--When they gain the majority, they violently subjugate ALL non-Muslims, expand their political domain, and the land of all non-Muslims.
WISE UP PEOPLE! They need to GET OUT of AMERICA & EVERY other country they have sullied w/ their MURDEROUS PRESENCE!
