On this week’s episode of New Mexico in Focus, correspondent Gwyneth Doland talks with UNM political science professor and former CIA officer Dr. Emile Nakhleh about the massacre in Orlando and the changing nature of terrorism in the U.S.
Nakhleh, an expert on political Islam and radicalization and terrorism, will sit down with Doland to discus what our government can do to prevent such acts of violence.
