U.S. law enforcement officials say they have identified more than two dozen "clusters" of young Muslim men in the northeast United States who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror, ABC News has learned.
"Any one of those clusters may be capable of carrying out a terrorist action that will result in fatalities," Rand Corporation terrorism expert Brian Jenkins tells ABC News.
In a report to be made public today, New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly concludes the 9/ll attacks were an "anomaly" and the most serious terror threat to the country comes from clusters of "unremarkable" individuals who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror.
The report by the NYPD intelligence division, "Radicalization in the West and the Homegrown Threat," plots "the trajectory of radicalization" and tracks the path of a non-radicalized individual to an individual with the willingness to commit an act of terror, multiple sources say.
"The threat is real; this is not some bogey man we are creating here. There are individuals who are proselytizing, inciting angry young men to go down this path," said Jenkins, who reviewed and contributed to the NYPD report.
The report identifies mosques, bookstores, cafes, prisons and flop houses as what it calls "radicalization incubators" that provide "extremist fodder or fuel for radicalization."
The leader of an American Arab civil rights group labeled the NYPD report as "unfortunate stereotyping" and at odds with federal law enforcement findings that the threat from homegrown terrorists was minimal.

9/11 was NOT an anomaly, just a successful battle in rekindled Jihad.

How many in Florida and other places?
Oh my goodness. Two dozen clusters of young Muslim men. The libs and ACLU will start screaming about profiling.
They are no worse than the “peace groups” of the 60’s and 70’s.
“U.S. law enforcement officials say they have identified more than two dozen ‘clusters’ of young Muslim men in the northeast United States who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror...”
Hey, that’s profiling and constitutes blatant discrimination. Why ignore all those young Mormon, Mennonite, and Buddhist men on a path that could lead to homegrown terror?
you should have heard the idiot on Good Morning America this morning saying just that. ‘It’s un-American!’
"Our studies shows that these terrorists are good people and future voters.
We will give these illegals Amnesty. It IS MY JOB #1!!!!."
“Yet the Famous But Incompetent cops...”
Can you explain that comment?
Meanwhile, if we know where there places are and what they are doing, shut them down! Duh! Let them take us to court, at least we are doing something constructive.
As far as I know those “peace groups” from the ‘60’s weren’t Muslims.
Cluster bombs anyone?
The mosques and the bookstores are the problem. They teach young Muslim men to hate, and to prepare themselves for the day they can martyr themselves. We need to put an NSA agent in these mosques, taping what is being said; and then we need to arrest and prosecute the people who are saying it.
Also, the mosques and the bookstores need to be seized under the asset forfeiture laws, like a drug dealer’s car. Take away their toys, throw them in prison for 40 years, and let’s see if they still want to play.
"That's it, we're suing!"
I think that's an exaggeration, but I will answer that most Muslims really are peaceful. Like Christianity, the Muslim religion has several "denominations." The Wahhabi sect is the most dangerous.
Well ABC and NYPD, since you’ve tipped off the “clusters”, why don’t you just go ahead and give us the names and addresses of the “unremarkable...non-bogey men.”
