Former CIA case officer Dr. Marc Sageman wrote the influential books Understanding Terrorist Networks (2004) and Leaderless Jihad (2008). He asserted that jihadists unconnected to foreign organizations posed the most significant terrorist threat to the United States.

Georgetown University professor Bruce Hoffman challenged Sageman’s view, arguing that al-Qaeda and like-minded organizations still posed a greater threat than “homegrown” terrorists. (Courtesy of Bruce Hoffman)
