Rubio expands plans for high-level meeting focused on 'far-left terrorism' [View all]

Source: abc news



Officials will lay the groundwork for "coordinated action," documents say.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is preparing to host delegations from more than 70 countries this week for a gathering focused on addressing what the Trump administration describes as the overlooked threat posed by "the resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism," according to a State Department official and internal documents reviewed exclusively by ABC News.

"For too long this threat has remained a blind spot in the international community's counterterrorism focus, underestimated and under-resourced, despite the danger it poses," a note shared with foreign governments describing the concept of the meeting reads.

It goes on to assert that law enforcement and counterterrorism experts have revealed a "clear trend" of "globally networked, politically-motivated terrorists -- particularly far-left terrorists" increasingly turning to "organized, deadly violence to advance their political objectives."


The meeting, which will take place in Washington on Thursday, will lay the foundation for "coordinated action" to counter international organizations that are "seeking to implement an extreme political vision through intimidation and coordinated campaigns of terror," the document states.
