Clinton to talk anti-terrorism in state fighting recruiting
- 8 years ago
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is unveiling her plan to strengthen the nation's defenses against terrorism with a speech in Minnesota, a state that has wrestled with recruiting for extremist groups for years.
Clinton, who has been addressing the homeland security issue more forcefully in the wake of the deadly attacks in Paris and southern California, will announce her proposal Tuesday.
Her campaign said she would propose a comprehensive strategy to address every step in the process that could lead to an attack like the one that occurred in San Bernardino, including recruitment, training, planning and execution.
"The prevention or intervention of recruitments should be a top priority of any U.S. citizen of this country," said Jibril Afyare, a spokesman for a Somali-American community task force.
Afyare, whose group is leading the Minneapolis pilot program, said it's also important for Clinton to deliver a message of unity and reject divisive, inflammatory language that has singled out Muslims.
