Virginia jihadists
Five alleged would-be terrorists, ages 19 to 25, from the northern Virginia area, were captured last week in Pakistan, attempting to join a terrorist training camp. How were these people recruited? What makes people want to travel around the world to become a terrorist? And what are U.S. authorities doing to stop this kind of activity?
