In regard to the March attacks in London:
“‘What British authorities are trying to do right now is ascertain whether he had any support mechanism,’ Jack Thomas Tomarchio, a former deputy under secretary for intelligence and analysis operations, said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” ‘That’s why you see these … other people arrested.’
Tomarchio, a senior fellow in FPRI’s Center for the Study of Terrorism, said British police will try to use some forensics: Look at the attacker’s cellphone and laptop if they have it, just to harvest information.
‘Often you find that in cases like this, there is often a support mechanism, and a terrorist doesn’t usually act totally as a lone wolf,’ he said.”
