Henderson is a typical small town. It has a population of 15,850 and is located in North Carolina's Vance county, about 36 miles from Durham and 40 miles from Raleigh, the state’s capital.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Henderson myself. I spent a week there one day. Aside from being able to stop at the McDonald’s while driving through North Carolina, there’s not much to do.

One thing we have an abundance of in the United States is small towns. We think of them like Norman Rockwell paintings, quiet, quaint and beautiful places to visit for the way America used to be.

The last thing we think about is their possible connections to al-Qaeda, but that is what is happening more and more in small towns across the country.
