individuals inside the u.s. to attack. >> unfortunately, they get their 15 minutes of fame. but do they get anything more than that? no, they don't. the organization, on the other hand, is able to play it up in a , in a big way. adam: social media and the so-called dark web of private internet pages give isis a global platform. >> you can't shut them down. when you shut down one of their twitter feeds or their sites, they pop up another one. adam: cyber-security expert gary miliefsky of snoopwall in nashua says it's time to stop thinking of isis-linked domestic attacks as the work of lone wolf terrorists. >> you're not a lone wolf anymore when you have that long-distance relationship to isis, and that's what we've got to take seriously, that their communication is louder than ours. adam: but how to identify the next terrorist before they attack? after san bernardino, federal law enforcement officials demanded apple design a key to break into the attacker's iphone.

can destroy isis while leaving a light cultural boot-print that inspires friendship rather than a new generation of terrorists. >> when special forces go in, they eat the food that the community eats. they don't bring burger king to kabul, afghanistan. there's something significant in that difference, in the approach. adam: adam sexton, wmur news 9. announcer: now, meteorologist hayley lapoint and your storm watch 9 forecast. dreary weekend, hasn't it? two over 56, 55 jeffrey, londonderry 54, hillsboro and guilford only 51. the average high is in the 60's, so this was much cooler. they have not got anywhere during the evening hours, all
