Aspiring to Financial Terror

Here's a homeland security term I haven't heard before: "aspirational threat." Those are the words DHS spokesman Russ Knocke used to describe a possible cyberattack by a radical Muslim group on U.S. financial institutions. Homeland Security officials issued a warning to the financial community after jihadist Web sites called for attacks in December, but they don't think that the would-be cyberterrorists will actually be able to pull off the plot.
