Assignment task: Reword/rewrite the following
Working as a visual aid for the information provided in the raw data table, the foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) known as al-Qaeda and al-Shabaab are communicating with and plotting to carry out a coordinated terrorist attack on the United States and Mexico. The FTOs have been in contact with three cells which are labeled Blue, Yellow, and OBJ Sandusky. These three terrorist cells have made calls to and from the United States and Mexico. What is not known for certain at this point based on the data given is whether or not the recruited cells are a sophisticated group of operatives, a lone wolf, or homegrown violent extremists (HVEs). The alQaeda and al-Shabaab affiliations according to the data are located in various nations around the world and have been in close contact by telephone on various dates for various lengths of time. The affiliations in the grey and purple locations have been in contact with terrorist cells within the United States. OBJ Chaos has been in contact with the purple affiliations which suggests that this individual although not for certain may be a lone operator or has associates working with him/her from a location within the vicinity of the Horn of Africa. Based on the provided raw data, it is safe to make the assumption that the direct verifiable threat comes from the terrorist cells operating out of the United States. However, there seems to be a potential threat in Africa with the same affiliation as the terrorist cells in the United States.
