If they are smart, they are acting alone. Their basic problem is how to get enough people to do something significant without attracting so many people that odds are there is an informant among them. Thus far, they have not solved this problem well. In plots that went as planned like OKC and the Boston Marathon bombing, they solved the problem by only a few people knowing there was a conspiracy going on before it happened. In general, they have not.
Give the early Marxists credit for creating a revolution based on an uncoordinated cell structure that's the model for these sorts of things. Credit the FBI for understanding that better than any investigative service in the world. It's been put to both good and bad use, as anyone in the early civil right or antiwar movements can fully attest.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
