April, 2013 — Two explosive devises were set off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killing three persons and injuring more than 130 — many seriously. Brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, created and placed the homemade bombs.

Dzhokhar was subsequently apprehended and reportedly confessed to the terrorist crime. The Tsarnaevs were brought to the United States by their parents in 2002 as refugees from the Chechnyan region of Russia — a region that currently has an Al Qaeda influence. Dzhokhar naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2012. Tamerlan, in 2012 spent a protracted visit to the Dagestan region in Russia where his parents had returned to live.

fairus May 1, 2010 — Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen unsuccessfully attempted to explode an explosives laden car in New York Times Square. He was apprehended two days later after boarding a plane to fly to Dubai. The Pakistani Taliban claimed credit for the attempted terrorist act. Shahzad entered the United States on a student (F) visa in 1998. In 2002 he converted his status to a temporary worker on an H-2B visa valid for 6 years. In October 2008 he married a U.S. citizen and converted his status to legal permanent residence. (Wall Street Journal, May 4 2010)
November 5, 2009 — Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist born to Palestinian immigrants, opened fire indiscriminately at Fort Hood, New Jersey killing 13 and wounding 30 persons. At his trial, he tried to tell the judge he had switched sides and was fighting on behalf of the Taliban, but the US government, FBI and military still decline to call the event warfare or terrorism, and called it "workplace violence" which covers events which usually also look at if they were terrorist attacks, except they are by persons with no traceable ties to terrorist groups or motive.
December 25, 2009 — Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian, attempted to blow up a passenger plane as it approached a landing in Detroit. He was traveling to the United States from Amsterdam on a tourist visa, valid for two years that he obtained at the U.S. Embassy in Britain in June 2008. The attempt failed when the chemicals he was carrying under his clothing ignited only partially and other passengers stopped him from further attempts. The incident revealed a security lapse because information had been reported to the US Embassy in Nigeria that he had become radicalized by Moslem terrorists while in England and in Yemen. The Embassy had reported the information, but it was not placed in a database that would have prevented the terrorist from boarding a plane for the United States.
