Margaret Kosal, associate professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was quoted in the article "Georgia man pleads guilty in plot to attack the White House," published April 1, 2020 on WSBRadio.com.
The article describes a legal resolution to the case of Hasher Jallal Taheb, a Forsyth County man who plotted an attack on the White House, which was foiled by the FBI. Kosal commented on the need for authorities to take the threats seriously, even if they seemed "fantastical."
Excerpt:
“In the course of trying to get to accomplish a fantastical plot, somebody can get hurt,” Georgia Tech professor Margaret Kosal said shortly after Taheb’s arrest. “The FBI is forced to take all of them seriously, and that is what they should do.”
