The lone wolf is the new face of terror - so where's the silver bullet?

On the afternoon of Oct. 31, Halloween, the 24/7 news channels once again interrupted their scheduled broadcasts with ominous music and the words “Breaking News,” with live shots of yet another crime scene. This time the bloody scene was New York City, lower Manhattan to be exact, and a few steps from Ground Zero, where on Sept. 11, 2001, the world witnessed the most catastrophic terrorist attack in history. The New York attacker, 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, a so-called ISIS loyalist, had hoped to kill scores of people by plowing his rented truck into a bike path along the West Side Highway and then, according to reports, targeting pedestrians and motorists on the Brooklyn Bridge.
