FILE - This 2002 photo provided by Roman Castro shows Sharif Mobley, 26, at a barbecue in Buena, N.J. The FBI confirmed Thursday, March 11, 2010, that the agency is looking into the case of Mobley, who grew up in Buena and is an alleged al-Qaida member raised in New Jersey who is accused of trying to shoot his way out of a hospital in Yemen. The new reality that there is a threat from violent Islamic extremism from within the U.S. It is difficult to say whether the uptick in cases is because law enforcement has gotten better at catching suspects or if there are simply more to catch.
