Amy wrote about this yesterday: there was a terror attack at Old Dominion University yesterday when Mohamed Jalloh opened fire on campus. He was killed by an ROTC student who stabbed him to death. Jalloh was convicted of supporting ISIS and should never have been on the streets: 

 

Jalloh was arrested in 2016, according to a press release from the Department of Justice, "attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). According to the complaint, Jalloh is alleged to have attempted to provide services by assisting in the procurement of weapons to be used in what he believed was going to be an attack on U.S. soil committed in the name of ISIL. In addition, the complaint alleges that Jalloh attempted to provide material support to ISIL by providing money to assist in the facilitation of individuals seeking to join ISIL."

Iran’s drone swarms challenge US air defenses as troops in Middle East face rising threats

Sustained Iranian drone attacks are driving the Pentagon to expand layered counter-drone defenses, including interceptor systems and emerging laser technology

Cheap Iranian drone attacks are forcing the Pentagon to rapidly expand layered air defenses in the Middle East, as thousands of U.S. troops stationed across the region face an escalating aerial threat that is testing the limits of traditional missile defenses.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said Tuesday its air defenses detected nine ballistic missiles and 35 drones launched by Iran. Eight missiles were intercepted while one fell into the sea. 

Of the 35 drones, 26 were shot down and nine crashed on UAE soil, the country said. 

The engagement highlights how the battlefield is shifting. 

Ballistic missiles travel high and fast, allowing long-range interceptors such as the Patriot air defense system and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system (THAAD) to engage them predictably. Drone swarms, which Iran increasingly has relied on in recent exchanges, present a different challenge to U.S. forces. Read more & see video here.
