"Lone" Wolves on the Loose in the U.S.

What are the odds?--American authorities are worried about "lone" "self-radicalisers," too, reports the Daily Beast:

The United States has warned civilian and military leaders in Pakistan that they need to worry about a newly uncovered breeding ground for anti-American terrorists—their own families.

A senior federal law enforcement official tells The Daily Beast that the Obama administration has sent a “clear, if carefully worded warning” to Pakistani leaders in recent days that their own children and others relatives, as well as their subordinates in the government, should be scrutinized for possible terrorist ties.

“We’ve got elements of the Pakistani gentry—people who can get in and out of the United States with ease, if they’re not already citizens here—who are getting roped into terrorism,” says an American diplomatic official.

The official, who has been briefed on details of the Times Square bombing case, says Pakistanis have also been told that the United States is concerned by the large number of connections between Pakistani military officers and some of the recently uncovered terrorist plots aimed at the United States and its European allies.

The warning comes in the wake of the discovery that the son of a retired Pakistani air marshal was the culprit in the attempted terrorist bombing in Times Square last month, as well as the guilty plea in March by a Pakistani-American man in Chicago who has connections throughout the Pakistan government—including a half-brother who is the prime minister’s chief spokesman.

Wow, that's pretty well-connected--especially for a, erm, "loner". Who is this guy?

The Chicago man, David Headley, attended one of Pakistan’s most elite military academies and had, at least until his arrest, maintained friendships throughout the Pakistani military. A retired Pakistani army colonel who remains at large has also been indicted in the Chicago case.

“With these two cases, you really see what we’re up against,” said an American diplomatic official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to discuss the terrorism cases publicly. “We’ve got elements of the Pakistani gentry—people who can get in and out of the United States with ease, if they’re not already citizens here—who are getting roped into terrorism.”...

You're really up against the jihad, unnamed diplomatic official, and I highly doubt that you can really see it, since the word has been purposefully expunged from the American diplomatic vocabulary--the crux of why you have no chance of defeating it.

Update: The local gentry sing (Sinatra):

Jihad and terror,
Jihad and terror,
Go together,
Boys, it's not an error.
This I tell you, kaffir,
You can't have one without the other.
Jihad and terror,
Jihad and terror,
Hate to be the bad news
Message bearer.
Ask Pakistan gentry
And they will say it's element'ry.

Try, try, try to separate them,
It's a losing battle.
Try, try, try but know "lone wolves"
Won't up and just skeddadle.

Jihad and terror,
Jihad and terror.
You can either beat it or despair.
Comes down to ways and means
Of blowing us
Yes, blowing us,
Of blowing us to smitheree-eens.
