Are you sure?  The extremists who flew the planes had been in the USA but
not that long.  I worked with one of the car bombers.  He seemed like a
nice guy so I suspect he got radicalized after he left our workplace.  He
had been here since at least 1988, when I first started working there.

I don't know about the UW one, but OK City was.  Boston was not. The one
that lived was a dual-citizen of the US and a former Soviet republic, while
his brother was not a citizen.  The wikipedia article about the Boston
Marathon bombing links to a larger article about Islamic terrorism in the US.
