Terrorismo

Ataques de extremistas impulsan leyes antiterroristas en Estados Unidos

Un senador republicano y un representante demócrata promueven la clasificación de crímenes como ‘terrorismo interno’

(FILES) In this file photo taken on August 17, 2019, far-right demonstrator makes the OK hand gesture believed to have white supremacist connotations during "The End Domestic Terrorism" rally at Tom McCall Waterfront Park in Portland, Oregon. - One man had three assault rifles, extra-large magazines and a gas mask. Another had over 18 weapons, including sawed-off shotguns, AR-15s, and a grenade launcher.  Earlier this year, the two might not have drawn the attention of US law enforcement. But ever since a young racist slaughtered 22 at a Texas Walmart, and another man murdered 10 in Ohio three weekends ago, the FBI has arrested at least seven right-wing extremists in what appears to be a more earnest crackdown on white nationalist threats in the US.

Salem, Estados Unidos. Un hombre blanco que odia a los mexicanos abre fuego en un Walmart en El Paso, Texas, y mata a 22 personas. Otro hombre mata a 11 judíos en una sinagoga en Pittsburgh.

Las dos matanzas y un tuit presidencial enfocaron los reflectores sobre la idea del “terrorismo interior”, dando impulso a un debate sobre si semejantes ataques se deben clasificar y juzgar de la misma manera que los crímenes contra Estados Unidos perpetrados por grupos extremistas extranjeros y sus seguidores.
