New York City Terror Attack Is Confirmed as ‘Known Wolf’ Terrorism … Again

Patrick Poole:

Yesterday, I was providing live updates here at PJ Media on what was known about the terror attack in New York City that killed 8 people and injured 15:

Now, law enforcement sources are telling the media that the attacker, Uzbekistan native Sayfullo Saipov, was previously known to authorities for his direct ties to other terrorism suspects under investigation. This makes the attack yet another case of what I have termed “Known Wolf” terrorism. Virtually every terror attack carried out in the United States in recent years was committed by individuals already known to authorities:

ABC News is reporting that Saipov was questioned by Homeland Security in 2015:

The suspected New York City attacker, Sayfullo Saipov, was interviewed in 2015 by federal agents in the Department of Homeland Security Investigations Unit about possible ties to suspected terrorists, but the agents did not have enough evidence to open a case on him, laws enforcement officials tell ABC News.

Saipov’s name and address was listed as a “point of contact” for two different men whose names were entered into the Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation Unit’s list after they came to the United States from “threat countries,” one federal official told ABC News.

One of the two men has vanished and is being actively sought by federal agents as a “suspected terrorist.”

Why did the FBI never open a case file when they knew he was directly tied to two terrorism targets? Doesn’t being the point of contact for two terror suspects at least warrant some degree of law enforcement attention?

And, having been questioned by Homeland Security, why wasn’t his Diversity Visa revisited?

ABC news again reports:

Investigators searching Saipov’s online activities have found social media links to people who are or were subjects of terror investigations, sources said; however, it appears that the suspect found ISIS propaganda online and was not part of a terror cell.

Knowing that he was directly tied to two terror suspects, how can law enforcement conclude he was not part of a terror cell?

This is what makes Governor Cuomo’s comments calling Saipov a “lone wolf” yesterday so laughable:

Lone wolf? How much more “Known Wolf” could Saipov get?

There are now reports that he had a picture of an ISIS flag in the vehicle, as well as statements in Arabic and a pledge of allegiance to the Islamic State:

DeBlasio is a typical liberal all mouth and no mind if this fool was a king in the middle ages he would have opened up the castle gates lowered the drawbridge and welcomed the hun’s in

This “lone wolf” meme is supposed to imply some guy that just decided one day to commit a terror attack then carries it out that afternoon. It is meant to imply there was no way to prevent it. This covers up for the deficiencies in protecting the public induced by leftist PC interference in our national security.

We need to allow our government to do the job is it supposed to do. Protecting the citizens of the country is the government’s job and to do this, they need to restrict immigration to people who do not intend to kill us. Instead of continuously harping on gun control, they need to harp on vetting immigrants. Then need to close our borders but for carefully metered check points. They need to home in on suspects and bird dog them instead of spying on political opponents. They need to infiltrate suspected terror cells, even if it is in a church or MOSQUE.

Our police and intelligence services (when the liberal PC infiltrators can be sidestepped) are more than capable of carrying this mission out. We just need the left to get out of the way.

How about rounding up the known wolves and shipping them back the entire family with them. Stripped of citizenship and all assets, if any, seized and sold at auction, to pay for the one way ticket back to the crap hole the ran from.
