And CBS News is reporting that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security plan to take “extraordinary measures” to disrupt the possibility of a domestic attack to disrupt the elections. According to the report, FBI officials here are preparing a massive counter-offensive of interrogations, surveillance and possible detentions. The plan will go into effect during the first week of October. The FBI is expected to aggressively expand surveillance on a short list of people suspected of being terrorist sympathizers, but who have not committed a crime. Other “persons of interest,” including their family members, may also be brought in for questioning. Agents also plan to visit Mosques to ask members whether they’ve observed any suspicious behavior.
