Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says she regrets that some people took offense over a report warning that right-wing extremist groups were trying to recruit disgruntled troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

But she says “a number of groups far too numerous to mention” were targeting returning veterans to carry out domestic terrorism attacks.

She said the warning report that went out to American law enforcement agencies was consistent with reports that were issued before.

Ms. Napolitano spoke on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
