Wed May 5, 2021 Last week, Jill Sanborn, assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, told lawmakers that James Hodgkinson “intended for the shooting to be his final act on Earth,” when he attacked Republican lawmakers on June 14, 2017, nearly killing Rep. Steve Scalise. According to Sanborn, Hodgkinson knew “he would likely be killed,” a tacit acknowledgement that the FBI had indeed classified the attack as “suicide by cop,” not an act of terrorism. “I am not aware of the rationale,” Sanborn told lawmakers. “I was not in my seat at the time, so I would have to get back to you on the specifics of what the rationale was.” In the seat of acting FBI director at the time was Andrew McCabe, a Clinton crony and major player in the Russia hoax. McCabe did not testify about the rationale for calling the attack suicide by cop.

Format
On the last Sunday morning in January 2019, a homemade bomb pierced through the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Jolo, the capital of Sulu province in the southern Philippines. As parishioners scrambled toward the door for safety, a second bomb exploded near the church s entrance.
The twin suicide bombings left more than 20 people dead and more than 100 injured.
Philippine authorities later identified an Indonesian couple, Rullie Rian Zeke and Ulfah Handayani Saleh, as the suicide bombers. They were believed to have been members of the Islamic State-linked Jamaah Ansharut Daulah, an extremist organization banned in Indonesia, and recruited by a male militant known as Yoga. Authorities in Indonesia arrested Yoga several months later, in June, at which point he confessed to recruiting the couple for the bombings at the Roman Catholic cathedral.

WASHINGTON More than a third of the military veterans charged so far in the Capitol riot have reported ties to domestic extremist organizations, according to a new report from extremism researchers at George Washington University and West Point.
That’s more than four times the rate of non-military arrestees so far in the case, according to a report titled “This Is War” published Monday. The report was authored by Daniel Milton and Andrew Mines, and represents a joint effort of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University and the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point.
