Карта 2872 террористических инцидентов на территории Соединенных Штатов с 1970 по 2017 год.
КЛЮЧ: Оранжевый: 2001–2017; Зеленый: 1970–2000 гг.

В Соединенных Штатах Америки общепринятое определение терроризма - это систематическое применение насилия или его угроза с целью создания общей атмосферы страха, чтобы запугать население или правительство и тем самым вызвать политические, религиозные или идеологические изменения. [1] [2] Эта статья служит в качестве списка и составления актов терроризма , попыток терроризма, и других подобных предметов , имеющих отношение к террористической деятельности в пределах внутренних границ Соединенных Штатов по негосударственным субъектам или шпионам , действующих в интересах или лиц, действующих без одобрения государственных субъектов .

В замечаниях от 19 ноября 2019 года Мэтью Олкока, заместителя помощника директора Контртеррористического отдела ФБР , Алкок определяет внутренних террористов как «лиц, совершающих насильственные преступные действия для достижения идеологических целей, вытекающих из внутренних проблем». [3] Хотя акты насилия со стороны домашних экстремистов полностью соответствуют определению, в США не существует уголовного обвинения в домашнем терроре . Скорее, эта фраза является следственной категорией ФБР, используемой для классификации четырех различных типов экстремизма: «насильственный экстремизм на расовой почве, антиправительственный / антиправительственный экстремизм, экстремизм за права животных / экологический экстремизм и экстремизм абортов». [4]

На 11 сентября 2001 года Соединенные Штаты потерпели четыре скоординированных террористических актов в исламской террористической группы Аль-Каиды . [5] [6] [7]

Согласно отчету Счетной палаты правительства США за 2017 год , «из 85 инцидентов, связанных с насильственным экстремизмом, которые привели к гибели людей с 12 сентября 2001 года, на долю правых воинствующих экстремистских групп приходилось 62 человека (73 процента), а ответственность за них несли радикальные исламистские экстремисты. на 23 человека (27 процентов). Общее количество смертей примерно одинаково для крайне правых воинствующих экстремистов и радикальных исламистских воинствующих экстремистов за приблизительно 15-летний период (106 и 119, соответственно). Однако 41 процент смертей приписываемое радикальным исламистским воинствующим экстремистам произошло в одном событии - нападении на ночной клуб Pulse в Орландо, Флорида, в 2016 году ». [8] [9]

В 2018 году большинство идеологически мотивированных убийств в Соединенных Штатах Америки были связаны с правым экстремизмом . [10]

По состоянию на 2020 год на долю правого экстремистского терроризма приходилось большинство террористических атак и заговоров в США [11], и после нападений 11 сентября в континентальной части США погибло больше людей, чем от исламского терроризма. [12]

Итоги по США

Последние тенденции

В отчете Национального института и Центра журналистских расследований за 2017 год рассматривались террористические инциденты в США в период с 2008 по 2016 год. [15] Он обнаружил: [16]

  • 115 Ультраправые вдохновили террористические инциденты. 35% из них были предотвращены (т. Е. Нападения не было) и 29% закончились смертельным исходом. В результате этих террористических актов погибло 79 человек.
  • 63 террористических акта, вдохновленных исламистами . 76% из них были предотвращены (т. Е. Нападения не было) и 13% закончились смертельным исходом. Эти террористические акты привели к гибели 90 человек.
  • 19 инцидентов, вдохновленных левыми идеологиями (и эко-терроризмом ). 20% из них были предотвращены (т. Е. Нападения не было) и 10% закончились смертельным исходом. В результате этих террористических актов погибло 7 человек.

Согласно отчету, основанному на данных Министерства юстиции, опубликованном правительством США в январе 2018 года, примерно трое из четырех человек, осужденных по обвинению в международном терроризме в период с 11 сентября 2001 года по 31 декабря 2016 года, были иностранцами. По данным Министерства юстиции, 549 человек были осуждены за международный терроризм, из них 254 были гражданами другой страны, 148 были натурализованными гражданами и 148 были гражданами по рождению . [17] В своей речи перед совместным заседанием Конгресса 28 февраля 2017 года президент Дональд Трамп ошибочно отнес эти выводы к внутреннему терроризму, а не к случаям, когда международные террористы могли быть доставлены в Соединенные Штаты для судебного преследования. [18]

Центр «Треугольник» по терроризму и внутренней безопасности и Исследовательский форум руководителей полиции провели в 2015 году опрос 382 департаментов полиции и шерифа по всей стране. Почти 74% респондентов заявили, что антиправительственное насилие было их главной проблемой в отношении угроз насильственного экстремизма, в то время как около 39% заявили, что насилие, "вдохновленное Аль-Каидой", было их главной проблемой. [19] [20]

В последнее десятилетие общенациональный разговор о терроризме в основном сосредоточен на исламских экстремистских актах, однако правоохранительные группы ясно дали понять, что мусульманские экстремисты составляют незначительный процент идеологически обоснованных террористических атак в Соединенных Штатах. [21] С 9/11/2001 только около 9 американских мусульман в год принимали участие в террористических заговорах в Соединенных Штатах, всего в 20 инцидентах погибло около 50 человек. Исследование 2012 года показало, что примерно за тот же период правые экстремисты совершали около 337 нападений в год, в общей сложности они убили более чем в 5 раз больше людей, убитых мусульманами в Соединенных Штатах. [22]

Национальный консорциум по изучению терроризма и мер по борьбе с терроризмом поддерживает профили индивидуального радикализации в Соединенных Штатах , база данных , содержащая более 1800 профилей лиц радикализации идеологиями с 1948 года [23] показывает , что базы данных с 1948 по 2016 год , 40,0% из выявленных экстремистов были крайне правыми, 24,5% - исламистами, 17,4% - крайне левыми, а 18,2% - лицами, занимающимися единственной проблемой. [24]

В мае 2019 года ФБР впервые идентифицировало теории заговора как потенциальный источник внутреннего терроризма, в частности, со ссылкой на QAnon . [25]

В исследовании, проведенном в июне 2020 года Центром стратегических и международных исследований (CSIS), сообщается, что за 25 лет внутренних террористических актов большинство нападений и заговоров исходили от крайне правых злоумышленников. Тенденция усилилась в последние годы: на этот сектор приходится около 66% атак и заговоров в 2019 году и 90% - в 2020 году. Следующей по потенциально опасной группе являются «религиозные экстремисты», большинство из которых «вдохновили салафитские джихадисты». Исламским государством и Аль-Каидой », в то время как число, запланированное крайне левыми, с середины 2000-х сократилось до ничтожной доли. [26] [27]

В статье для ABC News по Мик Mulroy , бывший заместитель министра обороны, он пояснил , что США Департамент национальной безопасности пришли к выводу , что на расовой почве экстремистами - что они термин превосходства белой расы экстремистов - это и будет оставаться «самым стойким и летальный угроза на Родине ». Директор ФБР подтвердил этот факт в своих показаниях Конгрессу в сентябре 2020 г. [28]

В октябре 2020 года Министерство внутренней безопасности выпустило « Оценка внутренних угроз », в котором подробно описаны различные внутренние угрозы национальной безопасности США. В нем говорится, что из всех внутренних террористических атак, приведших к смертельной угрозе для жизни в период с 2018 по 2019 год, «WSE [экстремисты, выступающие за превосходство белой расы] совершили половину всех смертельных атак (8 из 16), в результате чего большинство смертей (39 из 48) ) ". [29]
