Bob Strang: Stopping Attacks Like NYC Is a ‘Very Difficult Thing To Do’

‘This is the kind of thing where there is no footprint, no background information, no social media profile to date that they can find’

RUSH EXCERPT:
STRANG: "Jon, this is a tough one and something that in New York we’ve been looking at for quite some time. We’ve seen it in Europe and we know this is the choice for an act of terrorism. It is very difficult to stop. Many of the cases that you heard commissioner o’neill talk about were stopped by intelligence, stopped ahead of time. This is the kind of thing where there is no footprint, no background information, no social media profile to date that they can find. So it becomes a real issue for law enforcement because how do you stop someone who wants to take a truck like this on any city block in New York or anywhere across the country and killing people? It’s a very difficult thing to do."
