The use non-Arabic Muslims

In recent years, al-Qaeda and its affiliates, have actively sought to recruit non-Arab Muslims into their ranks who can more easily avoid law-enforcement scrutiny and gain easier access to Western nations. That was the story behind deceased terrorist mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki’s recruitment of “underwear bomber” Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian who attempted to bomb an airplane over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.
 Anoth cae is that of  the Tsarnaev brothers that is also similar to the London bombers, who were also the sons of immigrants from a Muslim area of the world immersed in highly contentious conflict,” said by Bruce Hoff, a counterterrorism expert and the director of the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University. He also noted if the Tsarnaev brothers are working independently. Quoting him “What we don’t know yet is if they are ‘lone wolves’ who self-radicalized on their own, or else had ties to terrorist organizations overseas that facilitated their radicalization and plotting.”
