Laura Loomer ennustaa, että Yhdysvaltoihin on tulossa suuri terrori-isku, joka on hänen mukaansa paljon pahempi kuin syyskuun 11. päivän isku.

Laura Loomer did make this claim, however it is untrue. After researching more about Laura Loomer, I found she is an American far right political activist and conspiracy theorist. Loomer posted on X "massive Islamic terror attack’ in the US, potentially ‘10 times worse than 9/11". This was posted with no evidence or citations. Times Now states that Loomer is a controversial figure who has had multiple suspensions from social media sites in the past due to numerous provocative statements.  It is known that global tensions are high and authorities are being very vigilant, however there is no established evidence supporting Loomers statement.

this is a good response, I feel that you should cite sources like this article I found from BBC that talks about this post.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly8y27dwgpo

I like how you focused on the lack of proof there was in the initial claim. By pointing out that they provided no evidence or citations, you showed that a controversial prediction like this is just a simple guess without any facts to back it up whatsoever. I also like how you pointed out that this person who made the claim is a person with bad history on the internet in prior scenarios, making their words much less reliable and just a complete guess.
