In the aftermath of the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], the [[government]] of the [[United States]] refused to entertain the notion that those who carried out those attacks, did so in the name of [[Islam]] and in obedience to the foundational documents of that [[religion]]. Instead they identified [[Osama bin Laden]] as a type of lone wolf, and the group he founded ([[Al-Qaida]], or "The Base" in [[Arabic]]) as a "lone wolf group," however illogical such a concept might sound. The presence in the [[Koran]] of the Arabic word for the English verb ''to fight,'' and repeated exhortations for "slay[ing]" the "infidels," belie this notion.

On 1 October 2017, a man named [[Stephen Pollack]] allegedly used multiple extra packs of ammunition to kill fifty-nine people, and wound more than 500 others, single-handedly. This, if true, would make him a lone wolf. But already, witnesses are alleging that the shots that killed or wounded those concertgoers at that venue came from more than one location.
