WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States, braced for retaliation over the killing of Osama bin Laden, is worried that a "lone wolf" attack would be hard to defend against, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano said.
Napolitano laid out the possibility that a US citizen radicalized through the Internet could strike in the United States to avenge bin Laden, who was killed May 2 in a US commando raid in Pakistan.
"One source of concern is what is called 'the lone wolf,'" she said in an interview with CBS News on Wednesday. "And a sole actor, who's not in contact with anyone -- that's very difficult to prevent."
