Homeland Security and Islamic advocacy group officials talked about “online radicalization.” The term refers to the opportunity the Internet provides violent extremists to appeal online to individuals or groups who are vulnerable or sympathetic to their message. The Boston Marathon bombings and the May 22 murder of a British soldier were referenced multiple times throughout the discussion.
