FCIR Associate Director Trevor Aaronson talked with WLRN Miami Herald News contributing editor Eric Barton about the bombings yesterday at the Boston Marathon. Aaronson is the author of a recent book about the FBI’s counterterrorism efforts, The Terror Factory.
Aaronson discussed the media’s coverage of the Boston bombings and how even the most aggressive attempts by law enforcement to preempt terrorism cannot fully prevent acts of horrific violence.
