The FBI has beefed up its surveillance of Syrians living in the United States ahead of a possible US military attack on Syria, The New York Times reported Sunday.
The domestic intelligence agency and the Department of Homeland Security have also alerted federal agencies and private firms that any US strike could trigger cyberattacks, according to the report.
Hackers who claim to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and collectively known as the Syrian Electronic Army, have made several disruptions in recent months on American companies, including the Times.
The newspaper said FBI agents are set to interview hundreds of Syrians in the coming days.
US officials are especially concerned because Syria's close ally Iran has warned that any military action on Syria would leave Israel in flames.

Guarandamntee, that if we bomb Syria, we’ll see a heckuva lot more Syrians in this country, just as with the Iraqis.
Well, at least they aren’t doing surveillance on the Amish this time.
The Syrians have nothing to worry about. It’s not like they are the Tea Party.
Is this not profiling? cannot do that with many groups of ppl without being called racist
You bring up a good point...it’s not like the FBI increased surveillance on anyone...all they did was look at the data they already have on everyone.
Well, at least they aren’t doing surveillance on the Amish this time.
I did not know Obama had threatened to bomb Pennsylvania.
Serves them right though.
Of course they did. Syrians in Detroit are protesting Obama’s newest folly.
Brandon Saad, of the Chicago Blackhawks, is the first Arab American (I hate those hyphenated words) to win the Stanley Cup. His father is Syrian. I wonder if the FBI is watching him?
That is NOT a chemical weapon in the video.
So they say. Besides, it’s another case of forewarning the enemy so he can take pains to elude the effectiveness of any such surveillance. About the only transparency this Admin has shown is when it telegraphs any potential actions against our enemies.
Go defend the Kenyan Turd somewhere else, like the DU.
DU?
Really?
You are an ass.
“...Liquid was poured in the tip cannister (sic)...”
The video shows a homemade rocket that uses a propane cylinder packed with explosives.
What you see is a man carefully inserting an impact fuse and screwing it into place.
No one would be standing there pouring a nerve agent into a projectile without hand, eye, and face protection and a respirator.
At least not more than once.

How does this make me an Obama defender?
Are you on drugs?
You are making a fool out of yourself.
