--------
Robert O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL credited with taking down Osama bin Laden, predicted a terrorist attack on U.S. soil could surpass the devastation of 9/11 -- possibly targeting gun-free zones like schools or prominent public spaces, suggesting terrorists might exploit the U.S.'s vulnerable southern border. He emphasized the potential threat from jihadi terrorists over homegrown terrorists, downplaying the dangers to U.S. security posed by the latter, despite recent focus on domestic issues. O'Neill highlighted the risk of sleeper cells positioned within the country, poised to strike at critical infrastructure. He compared potential attacks to the tragic 2004 Beslan school siege in Russia, stressing the ease with which such targets could be compromised. O'Neill also touched upon the complexities of counterterrorism, noting how missteps can inadvertently catalyze terrorism by harming innocents and fueling retaliation.
