February 25, 2026FBI Warns of Extremists Recruiting Children on Gaming Platforms as Antifa Trial Begins and Iran Threat LoomsIn the past 48 hours, U.S. authorities have heightened warnings about domestic terrorist threats, with the FBI's Boston field office alerting parents to extremists targeting children on gaming platforms like Roblox, Minecraft, and Call of Duty. According to the FBI Boston office via National Today, suspects from networks known as "764" promote a "Nihilistic Violent Extremism" ideology aimed at sowing chaos and destroying society, using these sites to meet and radicalize kids, as detailed in their February 19 warning republished on February 24.Shifting to legal fronts, a federal trial began Tuesday in Dallas for nine individuals accused of antifa-linked involvement in a July 2025 shooting at the Prairieland Detention Center near the city, where a police officer was shot in the neck. Click on Detroit reports prosecutors charging eight with providing material support to terrorists under President Trump's designation of antifa as a domestic terrorist group, alleging the masked group fired fireworks, vandalized property, and shot at responding officers during a so-called "noise demonstration." Defense attorneys argue their clients were peaceful protesters, not antifa members, with the trial expected to last three weeks and some facing life sentences.Broader concerns linger over Iranian plots in the U.S., as Homeland Security Today outlines Tehran's "homeland option" pathways—including agents, criminal surrogates, or proxies—following recent U.S. strikes on Iran's Fordow nuclear site, prompting a terrorism advisory amid exposed European plots.No physical attacks or arrests tied directly to active U.S. threats emerged in this window, but officials urge vigilance against online radicalization and ideological violence.Thank you for tuning in, listeners—please subscribe for more updates.

February 21, 2026Man Crashes Weapons-Laden Vehicle Into Nevada Power Plant in Failed Extremist AttackIn the past 48 hours, authorities in Nevada are investigating what Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill describes as a counterterrorism incident outside Boulder City. On Thursday morning, 23-year-old Dawson Maloney from Albany, New York, crashed a rental car loaded with weapons through a secured gate at a power substation, where he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to police reports, the vehicle contained two shotguns, an AR-style pistol, loaded magazines, shotgun shells, flamethrowers with thermite, a crowbar, a hatchet, and explosive materials. Investigators discovered books on extremist ideologies—including left- and right-wing views, environmental extremism, white supremacy, and anti-government sentiment—in Maloney's motel room, along with components like ammonium nitrate and gasoline. In messages to his family, Maloney called himself a "dead terrorist son" and said he had an obligation to carry out the act to get on the news. The FBI is assisting, but officials confirm no infrastructure damage and no ongoing public threat, with the motive still under review. FOX 5 New York and KSNV echo these details from the sheriff's news conference Friday.No other confirmed terrorist threats or attacks have surfaced in the U.S. during this window, according to major outlets and federal alerts. Broader national security chatter remains quiet, with focus shifting to international cases like the U.S. State Department's monitoring of a French activist's killing potentially tied to radical left violence.Listeners, thank you for tuning in and please subscribe for more updates.

February 18, 2026Headline: Lethal Strikes on Narco-Terror Boats, FBI Shifts Focus to CounterterrorismU.S. Southern Command reports that on Monday, its Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted lethal strikes on three drug trafficking boats operated by designated terrorist organizations in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean, killing 11 male narco-terrorists—four on each of the first two vessels and three on the third. Intelligence confirmed the boats were using known narco-trafficking routes to move drugs toward the U.S., marking the third such operation this February and the 39th since September 2025, with over 130 total deaths. President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have framed these actions as essential to disrupt cartel networks threatening the U.S. border.Shifting to domestic preparedness, the FBI is reallocating thousands of agents from immigration enforcement to bolster counterterrorism efforts, spurred by recent U.S. strikes on Iran, according to reports from AOL. This move underscores heightened vigilance amid global tensions.On the financial front, the Financial Action Task Force has renewed North Korea's designation as a high-risk jurisdiction for money laundering and terrorism financing for the 16th year, citing its failure to address deficiencies and threats from weapons proliferation, as noted by Korea JoongAng Daily and South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit.No active plots or direct threats on U.S. soil have surfaced in the past 48 hours, though these international operations highlight ongoing efforts to neutralize narco-terrorism pipelines and foreign financing risks.Thank you for tuning in, listeners—don't forget to subscribe.

February 14, 2026Quiet Skies: No Domestic Terrorism Threats Reported in the U.S.There hasn't been any significant terrorist threat announced within the United States over the past 48 hours according to the available search results. The most recent developments involving terrorism and the United States center on international operations and cases rather than domestic threats.The U.S. military conducted a strike operation in the Caribbean on February 13th, where Joint Task Force Southern Spear, operating under U.S. Southern Command, targeted a vessel allegedly operated by designated terrorist organizations engaged in drug trafficking. The operation resulted in three fatalities, with no American military personnel harmed. Intelligence had confirmed the vessel was transiting known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean region. This marks part of a continuing campaign that has resulted in over 130 deaths since operations began in September 2025.On the law enforcement front, federal prosecutors are pursuing cases with international dimensions. Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to plotting a murder-for-hire scheme against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a U.S. citizen and Sikh separatist leader based in New York. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the conspiracy involved a hundred thousand dollar payment authorized by an Indian government employee. Gupta is scheduled for sentencing on May 29th and faces at least two decades in prison under his plea agreement.Beyond U.S. borders, terrorist organizations continue threatening communities. In Nigeria's Kwara State, four communities have received threat letters from suspected terrorists claiming to represent organizations involved in killings and kidnappings. These threats have prompted school closures and caused residents to flee their homes, though these developments are occurring in West Africa rather than within the United States.The absence of major domestic terrorism announcements in the past 48 hours suggests that while international terrorist-related activities and law enforcement operations remain active, no significant threats or attacks have been reported within American territory recently. Security officials continue monitoring transnational criminal and terrorist networks that pose potential risks to the homeland.Thank you for tuning in to this terrorism news briefing.

February 11, 2026Experts Warn of Rising Extremist Threat Despite Quiet Period on U.S. SoilIn the past 48 hours, U.S. authorities report no major new terrorist incidents or threats on American soil, but a recent United Nations Security Council monitoring report underscores persistent low-level risks from self-radicalized actors. According to the UN's Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, Al-Qaida's global fighter network has ballooned to around 25,000— a 50-fold increase since 9/11— with affiliates leveraging AI for recruitment and propaganda targeted at youth via online gaming platforms. For the U.S., the report highlights ongoing challenges from persistent but low-sophistication plots, including a foiled ISIS-inspired mass shooting scheme over Halloween in a Detroit suburb, where suspects scouted sites, bought semi-automatic weapons and over 1,600 rounds of ammo, and linked to overseas contacts, as detailed by Homeland Security Today and ABC News.While no fresh plots have surfaced in the last two days, the assessment warns of lone actors inspired by groups like ISIS or Al-Qaida, often with unclear motives tied to global conflicts. ABC News confirms federal arrests in Michigan thwarted that earlier attack, emphasizing FBI vigilance against domestic extremism. Broader context includes U.S. Southern Command's February 10 strike on a Pacific boat linked to a designated terrorist group involved in drug trafficking, per their statement, though this occurred outside U.S. borders.Experts note evolving threats from technology-enabled radicalization, but U.S. homeland security maintains that large-scale coordinated assaults remain unlikely, focusing instead on prevention of self-initiated violence. Maui County discussions on FBI-Joint Terrorism Task Force agreements, reported by Civil Beat, reflect local debates over federal ties amid immigration tensions, but police affirm no involvement in enforcement beyond core duties.Listeners, thank you for tuning in—please subscribe for more updates.

February 07, 2026Libyan National Arrested for 2012 Benghazi Attack, Trump Admin Doubles Down on Iran SanctionsIn a major development on the terrorism front, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Friday that Libyan national Zubayr al-Bakoush, a key alleged coconspirator in the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, State Department employee Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, has been arrested and brought to American soil. According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, speaking at a Justice Department press conference alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 3 a.m. that morning after transfer from Libya, facing an unsealed eight-count indictment including murder, attempted murder, arson, and providing material support for terrorism. The DOJ press release details how al-Bakoush conducted surveillance and tried to breach U.S. mission vehicles during the assault by Ansar al-Sharia militants.Bondi emphasized President Trump's commitment to justice, stating, "If you commit a crime against the American people anywhere in this world, we will find you," while Pirro noted the charges were first filed under seal in 2015, vowing relentless pursuit of remaining suspects. Patel credited Trump's support for law enforcement, calling it a direct result of backing the blue amid global hunts.Shifting to state-sponsored threats, the White House released a fact sheet today detailing President Trump's new Executive Order reaffirming the national emergency over Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. It establishes tariffs on countries acquiring Iranian goods or services to counter Tehran's proxy militias, nuclear pursuits, and attacks on U.S. forces, building on recent strikes like Operation Midnight Hammer that destroyed Iran's nuclear sites.No active domestic plots or imminent threats within the U.S. were reported in the past 48 hours, though the House Homeland Security Committee flagged ongoing agroterrorism risks in a media advisory for an upcoming hearing.Thank you for tuning in, listeners—please subscribe for more updates.

February 04, 2026Domestic Tensions Overshadow Terrorist Threats in the U.S.In the past 48 hours, tensions over potential terrorist threats in the United States have centered on domestic political battles and legislative moves rather than active plots or attacks. On February 3, Tallahassee Reports detailed how CAIR Florida held a press conference at the state Capitol despite Governor Ron DeSantis's December executive order labeling the group a terrorist organization—a designation echoed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier heightened security alerts ahead of the event, with Capitol Police standing guard amid debates over bills like HB 1471 and SB 1632, which would empower the state's chief domestic security officer to designate foreign or domestic terrorist groups, potentially leading to expulsions from schools and public records exemptions.Critics, including CAIR's Hiba Rahim and Democratic lawmakers like Rep. Anna Eskamani, called it an overreach that stifles free speech and targets political foes, while sponsor Rep. Hillary Cassel insisted it regulates conduct, not words, to protect Florida's ports and bases. Former House Speaker Paul Renner backed DeSantis, vowing as a gubernatorial candidate to bar such groups.No imminent violent threats emerged, though broader contexts loomed. Wikipedia entries noted U.S. military buildup in the Middle East on February 3, including IRGC gunboats harassing a U.S. tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and an F-35 downing an Iranian drone near the USS Abraham Lincoln—incidents Iranian officials framed as provocations amid stalled nuclear talks. A UN Security Council briefing scheduled for February 4, per Security Council Report, highlighted global ISIL threats but mentioned no U.S.-specific escalations.Domestically, DHS reported arresting around 7,000 gang members in 2025 under Trump designations of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, signaling ongoing enforcement. FBI's Operation Winter SHIELD, noted in AHA cybersecurity alerts from January 30, urges defenses against ransomware, a persistent cyber threat to infrastructure.Listeners, thank you for tuning in—please subscribe for more updates.

January 31, 2026Foiled ISIS Plot Overshadowed by Controversial Shooting InvestigationsThe FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force recently foiled an ISIS-inspired terror plot, preventing what could have been a significant attack on U.S. soil. According to Fox News, the disruption of this operation marks another successful intervention by federal authorities in identifying and stopping extremist threats before they can materialize into violence.In related developments, the Department of Justice has launched a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse killed by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. According to ABC News, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed the FBI-led investigation on Friday, noting that the incident warranted scrutiny despite the Trump administration's initial characterization of events. Pretti was shot on January 24th during what authorities described as an immigration enforcement operation, though video evidence contradicted initial official accounts claiming he had approached officers with a weapon.The shooting occurred within the context of Operation Metro Surge, a controversial federal immigration enforcement initiative in Minneapolis that has drawn bipartisan criticism. According to States Newsroom, the operation has sparked rare condemnation from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle regarding the use of force and apparent disregard for civil rights protections. This marks the second fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen by federal agents in Minneapolis this month, following the January 7th death of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem initially labeled Pretti's conduct as domestic terrorism without evidence, but later softened her rhetoric. According to ABC News, Noem described the scene following the shooting as chaotic and said federal officials had acted on the best information available at the time. She emphasized that the FBI is now leading the investigation.Former DHS officials have raised concerns about the rush to judgment in characterizing these incidents. According to ABC News, critics warned that issuing definitive conclusions before investigations conclude is incredibly irresponsible and undermines agency credibility. Public trust in law enforcement agencies depends on evidence-based assessments rather than rapid political narratives.These developments highlight ongoing tensions between federal immigration enforcement efforts and civil rights protections, with investigations expected to provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding these shootings.Thank you for tuning in to this news update.

January 28, 2026Calm Before the Storm? Uptick in Security Events Amid Shifting National PrioritiesIn the past 48 hours, the United States has seen no confirmed terrorist attacks or major announcements of imminent threats, according to official reports from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Homeland Security Today. However, a security-related Notice of Unusual Event was declared at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant in Texas on January 26, prompting notifications to the NRC Resident Inspector, state authorities, and federal agencies including DHS and CISA, though the event was terminated the same evening without further details released, the NRC Event Notification Report states.Tensions linger from recent domestic incidents tied to immigration enforcement, which some critics label as paramilitary actions. On January 24 in Minneapolis, ICE agents fatally shot Alex Pretti during a raid, sparking backlash over conflicting accounts of the confrontation, as ABC News and the Wall Street Journal report. Bystander videos show Pretti with hands raised while protecting a woman, contradicting initial federal claims of him approaching with a handgun, fueling 2nd Amendment debates and protests against ICE's aggressive tactics in Democratic cities.Broader national security updates include the U.S. Department of Defense's 2026 National Defense Strategy, released January 23 by Homeland Security Today, which emphasizes homeland defense amid global risks but mentions no specific U.S. terror plots. Speculative online chatter from sites like RedefiningGod.com warns of potential Iranian-linked aviation threats or civil unrest tied to political events, but these remain unverified predictions without law enforcement corroboration.No active terror alerts dominate headlines, with federal focus shifting to post-Venezuela intervention stability and ongoing ICE operations. Listeners, stay vigilant as authorities monitor for any escalations.Thank you for tuning in, and please subscribe for more updates.

January 24, 2026Headline: Isolated Incidents Addressed, Major Threats Averted in 48 HoursIn the past 48 hours, no major terrorist attacks or large-scale threats have struck the United States, but law enforcement continues to address isolated incidents and international narco-terrorism links. Lancaster County Sheriff's Office in Pennsylvania reported the arrest of Devante Robert Crosby on charges of terroristic threats, a misdemeanor case amid a local snow emergency starting Saturday night. Meanwhile, The Bureau revealed that Ryan James Wedding, a top Sinaloa Cartel operative dubbed the largest narco-trafficker in modern times, was arrested in Mexico City late Thursday and transported to the U.S. under the FBI's Foreign Terrorist Organization coordination process, facing charges including drug conspiracies, murder, and leading a criminal enterprise tied to a 2025 witness killing in Colombia.On the international front with U.S. implications, United States Southern Command announced a lethal kinetic strike Friday on a drug vessel in the Eastern Pacific operated by designated terrorist organizations, escalating efforts against narco-terror networks. Defconlevel.com's live threat intelligence, updated this January, notes the current U.S. DEFCON level at 3 amid global alerts like a U.S. airstrike in Somalia against ISIS, though no domestic escalations. These actions tie into broader counterterrorism, including the recent U.S. intervention in Venezuela, where narcoterrorism charges against former leader Nicolás Maduro remain active following his January capture.Federal officials emphasize vigilance, with no elevated national alerts beyond routine monitoring.
