(29.Juli) RT: An alleged Islamic State sympathizer Harlem Suarez has been charged in the United States for trying to plant a bomb on a public beach in Florida. The FBI started investigating Suarez over a Facebook post. Are we seeing a new approach to catching terror suspects? In the case of the Boston bombers the Tsarnaev brothers had been investigated by the FBI but were not caught until it was too late.

Dr. Conn Hallinan: That might be something that happens. I tend to be very kind of suspicious of these recent arrests and things, because most of them involve stings by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in other words you have an FBI informant and he is working with somebody and we don’t know what the FBI informant told this guy, we don’t know how serious they are. I’m not sure that any of these people that they’ve arrested for terrorism, or potential terrorism, are really associated with Islamic State. I tend to think that American foreign policy sort of demands demons. It creates them. For a long time it was communism, then it’s been the war on terrorism, now it is Islamic State. The creation of demons plays into what we can do better than anybody else, which is we can blow things up.
