Biggest Domestic Threat Is Lone Attackers Self-Radicalized Online: FBI Director

FBI Director Christopher Wray told a House panel on national security threats that no single organization or ideological affiliation represents the biggest risk but, instead, it is individuals who self-radicalize online and carry out attacks that pose the most serious threat to the homeland. At Thursday’s hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee, Wray was asked by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) whether the greatest domestic threat to homeland security was posed by right-wing or left-wing extremism. Wray responded by saying the biggest danger comes from people who become radicalized online and then carry out lone-wolf attacks against poorly defended targets. “We assess that the greatest threat to the homeland, to us here domestically, is not one organization, certainly not one ideology, but rather lone actors largely self-radicalized online who pursue…

Authorities in South Carolina are asking for the public’s help to find two boys who were abducted from their bedroom.

Matthew Kinman, 9, and Jerry Kinman, 7, were taken from their home in Aiken, South Carolina, on Sept. 17, said officials with the City of Aiken.

Officials said that Nancy Christina Kinman, 31, is wanted for questioning about where the missing boys are.

She is said to be driving a maroon 2005 Toyota Camry with South Carolina license plate SIY391.

Matthew is described as 4 feet tall, 90 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Jerry is described as 4 feet and 55 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

Nancy Christina Kinman was described as 5 feet 2, 185 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes, officials said.

“The juveniles are listed in [National Crime Information Center]. If located, please hold and notify Aiken Public Safety immediately,” said the city.

Officials said Friday that two girls from Aiken, identified as 13-year-old Emily McCarty and 10-year-old Mary “Madison” McCarty, were found on Thursday. They were both unharmed, reported the Post and Courier. Their case appears to be separate from the Kinmans’ case.

Anyone with information about the boys’ whereabouts asked to call Public Safety: 803-642-7620. Information can also be provided anonymously via Midlands Crime Stoppers: 888-274-6372.

Barr Defends His Power to Overrule Decisions Made by Lower-Ranking Prosecutors

Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday defended his authority to overrule prosecutorial decisions made by career prosecutors at the Justice Department (DOJ), while describing some of those lawyers as “headhunters” who are too consumed with taking down high-profile targets. “The notion that line prosecutors should make the final decisions within the Department of Justice is completely wrong and it is antithetical to the basic values underlying our system,” Barr said, according to prepared remarks for a speech delivered at Hillsdale College’s annual Constitution Day Celebration on Wednesday night. “Name one successful organization or institution where the lowest level employees’ decisions are deemed sacrosanct. There aren’t any,” he added. Barr has been criticized for decisions to intervene in politically sensitive high-profile cases involving associates of President Donald Trump, such as former…
