U.S. law enforcement officials say they have identified more than two dozen "clusters" of young Muslim men in the northeast United States who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror, ABC News has learned.

"Any one of those clusters may be capable of carrying out a terrorist action that will result in fatalities," Rand Corporation terrorism expert Brian Jenkins tells ABC News.

Groups of young Muslim men gathering and proselityzing? Anger and hatred toward our country? Grown right here at home?

I'm glad it's finally gaining a little publicity. Clearly this has been going on for years. Kinda turns the whole food not bombs theory on its ear doesn't it? Wealthy, well to do and affluent young people in the most stable economies of the world are fully involved in this sort of radicalization. So where do we go from here?

That is soooo scary. I know terrorism can happen any place but it seems like they like to target the NE area the most. Glad I don't live up there anymore.

In a report to be made public today, New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly concludes the 9/ll attacks were an "anomaly" and the most serious terror threat to the country comes from clusters of "unremarkable" individuals who are on a path that could lead to homegrown terror.
