Malicious vehicle attacks continue to be a rising tactic with radical groups. According to Mineta Transportation Institute’s National Transportation Safety and Security Center, there have been nearly 80 car-ramming attacks over the past four decades, with 30 of them happening the last two years. Just this month, authorities in the Baltimore-DC area foiled a plot by a suspected radical who had stolen a U-Haul truck with plans to run down crowds at an airport or tourist location. His reported plan was to identify a location that would garner the most media attention.
"I was just going to keep driving and driving and driving," suspect Rondell Henry told investigators, according to court records. "I wasn’t going to stop."
