President Barack Obama says it's challenging to find and identify very small groups of people who are willing to die in a terrorist attack, but he says the U.S. will not single out Muslim communities for more surveillance.
Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has responded to the bombing attacks Tuesday in Brussels by saying law enforcement should be empowered to "patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized."
But Obama says any approach that singles out Muslim communities is wrong and "would reduce the antibodies we have to resist terrorism."
Obama says he just left a country in Cuba that engages in such surveillance and the notion that the U.S. would do so "makes no sense."
