Justice Dept. Revives Domestic Terror Unit

HeadlineJun 04, 2014

The Obama administration is reviving a law enforcement group focusing on politically motivated domestic terrorism. The first such task force was established after the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building in 1995, but was then disbanded after the 9/11 attacks. The Justice Department says it is re-establishing the unit following a spate of attacks from home-grown extremists. In April, a white supremacist killed three people at two Jewish community sites in Kansas.
