Trump should not ignore domestic terrorist threats: critics

Organisations that track terrorist groups say the govt focuses too narrowly on threats from outside instead of adopting a broader approach.

Bud Welch knows something about the human cost of terrorism. His 23-year-old daughter was killed when a rental truck packed with explosives destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building.

Welch says he doesn't see much difference between the Islamic State terrorism group and the anti-government militia movement in the US.
