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?

Hmm, interesting question:
Anyone want to help the so-called "reporter"? https://t.co/OrSsxEYAcF

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

How about Boston? https://t.co/EeL4yS0SNP

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

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

@maggieNYT @nytimes and Rahami was born in Afghanistan, but, again, came to US young, was naturalized https://t.co/45DgZVLsFI

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

Why do they insist on starting after 9/11? Why not start with 9/10? @JammieWF @maggieNYT

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:
You'd think the NY Times would give their reporters access to Google so they wouldn't have to use Twitter to find basic information. https://t.co/Jg0umCRKz6

@maggieNYT The "google" is a thing that may help you in your reportage
