There is also unusual concern \u2014 apparently grounded in actual data \u2014 about a possible terror attack of some sort on American soil in connection with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which is currently underway, and with the celebration of American Independence Day on the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hope that nothing will happen. \u00a0I hope there\u2019s nothing to such concerns. \u00a0But I also hope that people will be vigilant, aware, and careful.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Such an attack could come in any form. \u00a0It could be a very spectacular Big Thing, in the style of al-Qa\u2018ida. \u00a0Or, and this is even harder to defend against, it could be one or more \u201clone wolf\u201d attacks by ISIS-inspired zealots.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
There is a virtual infinity of \u201csoft targets\u201d across the United States. \u00a0Law enforcement officials cannot protect all of them.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Please be safe.<\/p>\n
