American airstrikes in Syria Monday night halted the threat of terrorist attacks in the U.S. homeland from organized groups like ISIS and al Qaeda, but raised the specter of angry lone-wolf sympathizers carrying out an attack on their own, federal authorities said Tuesday.

3. Suspect in Missing UVA Student Charged With Abduction
