Alleged Boston terror plot raises fears
An alleged terror plot in Boston is again raising questions about just how big the actual threat of homegrown terrorism is.

Explaining the case against Mehanna are Abby Goodnough, Boston Bureau Chief for The New York Times, and Richard Falkenrath, deputy commissioner of counterterrorism for the New York Police Department.
