remotely guided plots in Europe, Asia and the United States in recent years, including the attack on a community center in Garland, Tex., were initially labeled the work of “lone wolves,” with no operational ties to the Islamic State, and only later was direct communication with the group discovered.


I think, in a way, this is good news. A true "lone wolf" terrorist would be harder to detect, and just be a more capable enemy, than someone relying on outside help.
