Operation Vigilant Eagle

Operation Vigilant Eagle

Operation Vigilant Eagle is an American law-enforcement effort headed by the FBI aimed at preventing political violence by "lone wolf" terrorists. The operation was first mentioned in the Wall Street Journal in April 2009.[1]

In this case a "lone wolf" is a person who operates alone, outside of extremest organizations. Examples included Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber, Scott Roeder who killed a Kansas abortion doctor and James von Brunn who attacked the American United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Such attackers are hard to detect as they do not associate with other extremists.
