WASHINGTON, May 7. /TASS/. Washington sees drug cartels, Islamists, and far-left forces as the main sources of terrorist threats, according to the US Counterterrorism Strategy released by the White House.
"Currently we face three major types of terror groups: narcoterrorists and transnational gangs, legacy Islamist terrorists, and violent left-wing extremists, including anarchists and anti-fascists," the document reads.
According to the strategy, the US "can defeat every single one of these groups, but the threat is significant and pervasive."
