The U.S. will refocus its attention on homegrown terror threats against Americans, President Barack Obama will say in a Thursday speech that is forecast as skimpy on any new sweeping policies. The move reflects the global fragmentation of al-Qaida’s top leaders as the U.S. tries to safeguard against attacks like last month’s deadly Boston Marathon bombings.
