White House offers details of plans to fight homegrown terrorism

Published 9 December 2011

The White House yesterday unveiled a broad, new strategy to battle homegrown terrorism in the United States. The program empowers communities by teaching local officials to recognize violent extremism and see the threat as a public safety issue, like the battle against gangs and drugs. The 20-page White House strategy, entitled “Strategic Implementation Plan for Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States,” adds details to the outline the administration released four months ago.
