Lone-wolf attackers, like the man who allegedly attacked three NYPD officers with a machete, pose one of the most challenging threats to law enforcement. “There are not a lot of dots out there to connect.”
three New York City police officers with a sword is the latest example of what law-enforcement officials say continues to be one of their most challenging threats: attacks by people acting alone.
The mother of accused attacker Trevor Bickford called police near their home in Maine in early December after her son, who had recently converted to Islam, expressed a desire to go to Afghanistan and join the Taliban, said Thomas Galati, NYPD’s chief of intelligence and counterterrorism. The Federal Bureau of Investigation interviewed him, requested that he be prevented from traveling overseas and continued to investigate, Mr. Galati said.
