FILE - This June 14, 2011 file photo shows Pfc. Naser Abdo in Nashville, Tenn. Abdo was arrested for plotting a solo attack on Fort Hood with a backpack stashed with explosives. He was caught only when a Texas gun shop clerk alerted authorities after finding the suspect acting strangely in his store. (AP Photo, File)AP - After 9/11, it was the men who went to radicalized mosques or terror boot camps who were seen as the biggest terror threat. Today, that picture's changed: Authorities are increasingly focusing on the lone wolf living next door, radicalized on the Internet — and plotting strikes in a vacuum.

FILE - In this Aug. 17, 2010 file photo, Staff Sgt. Charlie Collier, of Texas, of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, Task Force Strike, turns away from the rotor wash and listens to his wireless coms headphones, as he coordinates inbound Black Hawk helicopters, on the landing zone at Forward Operating Base Wilson, Kandahar province, southern Afghanistan. America's wars since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 have been a boon for the maker of Black Hawks. Sales at the Stratford, Conn.-based Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., more than doubled in five years, to $6.7 billion in 2010, due in large part to the company’s military business that includes the Black Hawk.

This image provided by Human Rights Watch on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011, shows a secret document dated April 15, 2004 discovered by Human Rights Watch in Tripoli, Libya, detailing a request for Libya to take custody of a terrorist suspect known as 'Shaykh Musa.' The CIA and other Western intelligence agencies worked closely with the ousted regime of Moammar Gadhafi, sharing tips and cooperating in handing over terror suspects for interrogation to a regime known to use torture, according to a trove of security documents discovered after the fall of Tripoli. The revelations provide new details on the West's efforts to turn Libya's mercurial leader from foe to ally and provide an embarrassing example of the U.S. administration's collaboration with authoritarian regimes in the war on terror.

AP IMPACT: 35,000 worldwide convicted for terror (AP)

In this July 29, 2011 photo, Naciye Tokova, a Kurdish mother and housewife, who was sentenced to seven years in jail for helping rebels who are described by Turkey as terrorists, speaks during an interview in her home in Kurtalan, Siirt in southeastern Turkey. The key piece of evidence against Tokova, who is illiterate, was the sign that she held up at a protest. It said: 'Either a free leadership and free identity, or resistance and uprising until the end.' The punishment stems from the Turkish state's homegrown narrative of terrorism, one that pre-dates the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and is rooted in the bloody legacy of Kurdish rebel chief Abdullah Ocalan, jailed since 1999. Activists counter that Tokova was denied the right to free assembly and expression and hardly qualifies as a terrorist accomplice.(AP Photo/Burhan Ozbilici)AP - At least 35,000 people worldwide have been convicted as terrorists in the decade since the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. But while some bombed hotels or blew up buses, others were put behind bars for waving a political sign or blogging about a protest.
