50 pc Americans anticipate more terror attacks: Poll

April 27, 2013 10:22

Fifty per cent Americans feel that a terrorist attack in the United States could be imminent, a latest Gallup poll has said in the immediate aftermath of the Boston bombings that killed three people and injured more than 200 others.

In its latest poll, Gallup said 51 per cent of those surveyed believed that there is more likelihood of a terrorist attack.

"This is significantly higher than the 38 per cent anticipating a terrorist attack when Gallup last measured this in August 2011 during the relatively quiet news environment leading up to the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks," it said.
