“US ‘at war’ with ‘lone wolf’ terrorists, attorney general says in Paris”

Speaking to NBC from Paris, where he was attending a counter-terrorism summit and the march, Holder said: “That is the thing that I think keeps me up most at night, this concern about the lone wolf who goes undetected.” Questioned by CNN about how the Paris attackers were known to authorities but still managed to act, he said such people “float under the radar screens”.
“I certainly think we are at war with those who would commit terrorist attacks and corrupt the Islamic faith to try to justify their terrorist actions,” he told ABC during a tour of Sunday talk shows as he led the Obama administration’s response to the attacks. “That’s who we are at war with and we are determined to take the fight to them.”
The White House said on Sunday it will host a conference on anti-extremism on 18 February. Holder said: “We will bring together all of our allies to discuss ways in which we can counteract this violent extremism that exists around the world.”
Speaking to CNN, Holder said: “We’re horrified by what happened and we express our condolences to the French people. What we saw in France over the course of this last week is unfortunately what we’re going to have to confront into the future.
“We have seen these kinds of attacks or attempts to have these kinds of attacks certainly in the United States, in the United Kingdom, we’ve seen this in Nairobi, in Australia and in Canada. This is the nature of the new threat that we must confront. We can I think successfully confront it if we share information in a way that we perhaps have not in the past.”
