The Federal Bureau of Investigation has investigated over 100 cases of suspected Islamic extremists either in the U.S. military or closely associated with it.
About a dozen of the cases are considered “serious,†according to a report from National Public Radio — based on a closed House-Senate committee hearing in December. There is no indication as to whether the number has increased in the ensuing six months. This is the first time the number of cases has been publicly reported.
“Serious†cases include suspects who are planning attacks or are in touch with “dangerous individuals.â€
Both the FBI and Department of Defense declined to comment to The Daily Caller about the investigations.
Sources familiar with the investigation confirmed the case number to NPR. The threats reportedly include both active and reserve military personnel, individuals with access to military facilities and even family members of people with military dependent ID cards.
Since the 2009 Fort Hood massacre — in which a radicalized Army Major opened fire on base, killing 13 and injuring dozens more — the Pentagon and FBI have been on high alert to prevent similar attacks.
“I was surprised and struck by the numbers; they were larger than I expected,†Connecticut independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, said.
“I know one can say that as a percentage of the millions of people in active military service or working with contractors, the numbers you talk about are a small percentage of the total,†he added, “but the reality is it only took one man, Nidal Hasan, to kill 13 people at Fort Hood and injure a lot more.â€
Lieberman would not confirm the numbers.
Hasan faces the death penalty. His trial begins August 20.

Just wait until a US military muslim suicide bomber gets close to a nuclear device.

Didn't that bitch in charge of DHS call the murders at Ft. Hood a work place shooting instead of calling it what it actually was: Act of Islamic Terrorism?

Don't know about her but, the assholes in charge of the Army did. Back when I was in, they let you keep your balls untill you made 0-6. I think they take them in OCS now.

What about a fully armed and loaded bomber? That would be bad enough without any nukes.

Sure did. This administration RUNS from calling what happened at Ft. Hood what it really was...an act of Islamic terrorism.

It's about to get really interesting at the brigade I'm at now. The incoming Brigade Chaplain is an Islamic Cleric.

I remember when my husband sat SAC alert for B-52s. When I visited him I couldn't get anywhere near the facility he was staying at, and/or the plane he sat alert for which was right next to the facility (which may or may not have carried nuclear bombs :-) ). I also remember driving out to a road by the runway when they were taking off on a deployment. There were about six B-52s who took off and some tankers one after another - super cool. My husband asked me to go tape it (with an ancient camcorder back then), which I tried to do. Within about 5 minutes security showed up and told me to leave.
Of course this was over 20 years ago, so things have changed I am sure.
