North Korea’s recent threats may have most Americans wondering “what if” and preparing themselves and their families for the worse. Meanwhile America is home to many terrorist groups

The murder of two Texan District Attorneys (DA) is still under investigation. One current theory is that the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT) was involved in the murder of Kaufman County DA Mike McLelland and ADA Mark Hasse. The Kauffman County DA’s office is part of a multi-agency task force tasked with investigating a recent ABT trial involving Ben Christian Dillon and James Marshall Meldrum, who were two of 34 defendants charged in October 2012 with conducting racketeering activity through the ABT criminal enterprise, among other charges, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).



Terrorism is the use of force intended to further a political or social goal.
•The National Institute of Justice defines terrorism as, “defines terrorism as “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.”
•The FBI defines terrorism as “the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.”



The ABT was originally concerned with the protection of white inmates and white supremacy. The group has since expanded to include illegal activities for profit, according to the FBI. Domestic terrorist groups are often referred to as “hate groups.” This includes – but is not limited to - neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, and border vigilantes.

•There are over 1000 such groups currently operating in the United States, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Pennsylvania is home to 35 of them, including the Aryan Terror Brigade. Many of the groups in Pennsylvania focus on race or sexual orientation.
•The Center has also identified another 1274 anti-government “Patriot” groups. Of these groups, 334 were militias. Of the 1274 groups, 37 groups have been identified in Pennsylvania. One is here in Lancaster County – the Constitution Party.
