After the terrorist attacks in Belgium, Americans want to know could such a coordinated, devastating, attack happen here.

University of Tulsa Assistant Professor of Political Science Gaurav Kampani is an expert in US and foreign security policies. He says theoretically, it’s possible, but a lone wolf kind of attack is the more probable scenario, Similar to what took place in California.

Kampani says Muslim communities in the U-S are much more integrated into society than those in Europe, so extremists and terror plots are more likely to be reported to the intelligence community.
