"Armed with few means but plenty of ideological fervor, an emerging corps of wannabe terrorists is scoping out skyscrapers, conducting terror-training camps, and, in one case, even attacking Americans by using a Jeep. The June 22 arrests of six men in Miami and one in Atlanta for plotting to destroy Chicago's Sears Tower and public buildings elsewhere provide the latest case in point. The band of alleged terrorists - which the government says pledged fealty to Al Qaeda but had no actual contact with it - has been characterized as "homegrown" because five of the suspects are US citizens."
