Counting the 9/11 killings as homicides, they accounted for only 16% of the US total homicides that year, putting the 2001 homicide rate back up to where it was in the mid-1990s.
Does the “64 times more likely” statistic include US citizens overseas, by any chance? Total US homicides in 2013 were about 16,000, and I don’t recall hearing of 250 terrorist deaths in the US.
May I suggest that you somehow channel your newsy readers toward this interview for a long time to come?
