New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman was apparently trying to make a point with this question about terrorist attacks in the U.S.:
Other than San Bernardino shootings, has there been a terrorist attack involving a non-US-born attacker since 9/11?
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) January 28, 2017
Hmm, interesting question:

Fortunately, help was available:
Boston bombers, Times Square bomber, underwear bomber, Ohio State attacker, Chattanooga shooter, & numerous plotters… https://t.co/pZac6XLNoO

The Tsarnaevs in the Boston Marathon bombing. Born in the Caucasus, IIRC. https://t.co/hYbPMIgkAb

the Boston bombers were both born in Russia, Faisal Shazad was born in Pakistan I believe.

Faisal Shahzad was born in Pakistan, but was a US citizen https://t.co/FZ4Rtkpkpq

Is that enough info to answer Haberman’s question?
More embarrassing: the laziness or the fact that a prominent NYT journalist really doesn't know the answer to this? https://t.co/aZm6KnDX2b

Obviously the New York Times is purely a public relations firm for the democrat party. This is a joke. https://t.co/6Vfp8l0r5z

NYTimes Maggie Haberman is an expert in all things anti-Trump, but needs Twitter to fact check her. Twitter obliges, hilariously. https://t.co/awdPipFrV8

Fwiw, the perpetrators of these were from
Chechnya
Pakistan
Kuwait
Somolia
Nigeriaonly Somolia is on Trump's list of 7. https://t.co/DZKEMTtUB2

But the answer to Haberman’s question is a firm “yes.”
There’s a fairly easy way for some “journalists” to have questions like that answered, if they so choose:
