If you are in the Flathead Valley, Montana, this month we'll be talking about safety in your houses of worship and public gatherings.
Multiple federal warnings regarding terrorist threats were issued in September 2025 by agencies including the U.S. National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). These warnings cited threats from both foreign terrorist organizations and domestic violent extremists. The Christian and Jewish communities are being specifically targeted along with their places of worship, public, and social gatherings.
Foreign terrorist threats
Al Qaeda and AQAP: On September 19, the NCTC issued a memo to law enforcement warning that recent calls by al Qaeda and its Yemeni affiliate (AQAP) showed the groups' ongoing intent to inspire attacks in the U.S.
Targeting of officials and landmarks: AQAP media publications reportedly urged "lone-wolf" attackers to use stabbings and vehicle rammings against government officials, police, hospitals, and places of worship. Specific public figures were also named as targets.
Cyber threats: The DHS also reported that nation-states like China, Russia, and Iran continue to pose threats to U.S. critical infrastructure through cyberattacks.
Threat to UN gathering: In late September, the U.S. Secret Service dismantled a telecommunications threat in New York City during the UN General Assembly. The discovered equipment was capable of crippling cell service and was potentially linked to nation-state actors and organized crime.
Domestic terrorism threats
General environment: According to a DHS 2025 assessment, the threat environment for domestic and foreign terrorism is expected to remain high throughout the year.
Threats from online radicalization: The FBI reported that the most significant terrorism threat comes from "lone offenders" who are radicalized online and seek to attack "soft targets".
Political motivations: The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) released a study in late September noting a significant rise in terrorist attacks and plots targeting political and social opponents and motivated by partisan political beliefs. Specifically from left-wing terrorist groups.
