CIA document analyses US as ‘exporter of terror’

WIKILEAKS has released a CIA memo analysing the risks of terrorists operating from the United States.

The report, which highlights Irish-American funding of the IRA as well as attacks by US-based or US-financed Jewish and Muslim terrorists, questions how foreign perceptions of the US could change with continued attacks.

“Much attention has been paid recently to the increasing occurrence of American-grown Islamic terrorists conducting attacks against US targets, primarily in the homeland. Less attention has been paid to homegrown terrorism, not exclusively Muslim terrorists, exported overseas to target non-US persons,” the report says.
