The monthly “Terror Threat Snapshot” is a comprehensive and informative look at all of the recently reported plots against the United States and its Western allies by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other extremist terrorist groups including Boko Haram, Al-Shabab, and Al Qaeda. The snapshot includes an interactive map which illustrates the number of homegrown jihadist cases in the United States since the 9/11 terror attacks:
