[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2886157, member: 18914"] You're definition is unreasonable - do you expect a "lone wolf" to have never heard of terrorism? To have never heard of possible ways to prosecute attacks? To the extent he has heard it was likely, at least in part, from other people. The idea of the lone wolf is that he is neither an integral part of some larger organization nor a directed "sub-contractor" if you will, i.e. his specific actions and plans are not known or directed by some larger or higher-level organization or command structure (before they happen). You are almost certainly right that he was radicalized over time partly through various contacts - after all lone wolves are not assumed to have invented radical Islam independently and in parallel with each other. However, that alone doesn't make him an organized or directed terrorist - the lone wolf concept still can apply. [/QUOTE]
