This week in Kansas a Christian terrorist brought a bomb to an abortion clinic.
This clinic has been repeatedly targeted by Christian terrorists:
1986 - firebombed
1993 - shooting
2009 - assassination of Dr Tiller
...and now:
2015 - attempted bombing
This seems to be just the latest in an ongoing spree of right-wing terrorism in the US that appears to be increasingly gaining attention:
The growing right-wing terror threat
Study Says White Extremists Have Killed More Americans in the U.S. Than Jihadists Since 9/11
Right-wing terror groups are America’s gravest threat
Under Bush, the DHS established a group to monitor the threat of right-wing terrorism. However, during the Obama administration, right-wing media groups portrayed this DHS group as having been set up by Obama to persecute them, and in response, Obama almost completely shut down the group. The assassination of Dr Tiller came shortly after that, done by very kind of right-wing extremists the DHS group had originally been set up to monitor. Since that time, right-wing and Christian terrorism in the US has been on the rise.
Local KWCH reports the device was “active and set to go off.” The bomb was wrapped in a box sealed with tape. It was detonated off-site by the bomb squad.
