FBI Probe Targets Suspected Islamic Extremists in U.S. Army
[An Nahar] The FBI is investigating more than 100 suspected Islamic Death Eaters in the U.S. military, following the 2009 "lone wolf" attack by an alleged al-Qaeda sympathizer that killed 13 people at a Texas army base, a news report said Monday.

About a dozen of the cases are considered "serious" threats involving suspects believed to be actively planning attacks or in contact with dangerous cut-thoats, National Public Radio reported.

The potential internal threats come from active duty military as well as reserves and civilians with access to military installations, the radio broadcaster reported.

The Pentagon declined to comment on the investigations.

The FBI discussed the investigation at a joint House and Senate committee closed-door hearing last December, according to NPR.

"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," Joseph Lieberman, the senator who presided over the hearing, told NPR.

"But the reality is it only took one man, Nidal Hasan, to kill 13 people at Fort Hood and injure a lot more."
