Terror expert: Jihadists may try to disrupt November election

from WND:

‘Intent on hitting America inside its borders, on its own soil’

As the number of suspected terrorists reportedly plotting assassinations and deadly attacks in America continues to grow, so does the risk of interfering with this year’s presidential election.

Historically, election cycles around the world have often faced disruption by adversaries, whether through election interference, threats of violence or actual violence. For example, the commuter train bombings in Spain on March 11, 2004, carried out by Islamic terrorists, which killed 193 people and injured over 1,800, took place just three days prior to a national election. The coordinated attack is believed by many to have influenced voters to reject a Spanish government that participated in the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
