Napolitano says lone wolf terror threat growing (AP)

PARIS ? U.S. Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano says the risk of "lone wolf" attackers is on the rise as the global terrorist threat has shifted in recent years.

Napolitano is also warning about the need to keep dangerous travelers from reaching the United States and urging European partners to finalize a deal on sharing passenger data.

Napolitano, in an interview with The Associated Press, said the agreement is needed to "make sure these global networks and global systems that we all rely on remain safe." She spoke on a visit to Paris focused on international security cooperation.

Noting current threats to the United States, she singled out al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and "the growth of the lone wolf," a single attacker not part of a larger conspiracy or network.
