企圖看作為模型為對美國的新的攻擊。 土壤
星期四， 2007年7月5日
攻擊在美國可能通過相對地不懂事故的下個恐怖分子，近同時攻擊來-相似於在英國試圖的那些在週末期間-設計更多挑釁普遍恐懼和恐慌比導致主要喪生，美國。 智力和反恐怖主義官員相信。 這樣攻擊要求最小的專門技術和訓練并且是難防止。 雖然英國的調查員在最新的事件沒要求阿爾凱達介入，這裡官員認為他們也許構成「雜種」現象， 阿爾凱達 不啟發和指南局部組從在遠處，但建立可看見的操作或後勤鏈接。 聯繫，幾位官員通過的阿爾凱達中介和會員一個增長的網絡從組織的領導被去除認為，被建立。 「什麼是一個直接鏈接？」 要求一位反恐怖主義官員。 「它是否是傳訊者？ 信使？」 美國. 官員「從非常資深夥計」在下，他說，觀看作為英國的工作重建攻擊和追蹤他們的起源。 在題為的一個內部備忘錄「停留在目標」， CIA邁克爾・ V.主任。 Hayden 被告訴的代辦處雇員昨天「事件 英國 從前次星期五擔當提示-，如果我們需要-這保持一個危險世界，并且我們的工作在保衛美國是一樣重要的像的一」。 事件在英國和蘇格蘭，反恐怖主義官員與最近美國認為，相符。 表明金錢的被加壓的運動和人從阿爾凱達的智力在巴基斯坦的ungoverned部族地區野營，在阿富汗邊界附近。 幾前輩 美國. 軍事 官員尖銳是什麼的重要昨天他們看見了作為巴基斯坦政府的不情願強有力地移動反對陣營和美國。 管理的疏忽按 巴基斯坦 艱苦削減什麼你稱恐怖分子「發展中的產業」。 阿爾凱達的「存在部族區域自9/11之前不是這安全的」，一資深美國。 軍事情報官員在電子郵件寫。 Hayden的備忘錄看上去設計在士氣抹殺的批評面前召集他的隊伍近年來被指揮在情報機構。 Accused of incompetence for failing to warn of the September 2001 attacks and for providing faulty intelligence on Iraq, it is also charged with overzealous anti-terrorism efforts that see al-Qaeda operatives under every bed. “Even as we deal with the current threat,” Hayden’s memo said, “it is hard not to notice the growing debates on both sides of the Atlantic about certain aspects of the war on terrorism: Guantanamo, habeas corpus, detentions, renditions, electronic surveillance, etc. For us, though, the choices are pretty clear: We will use all of our lawful authorities to defend America and her friends. “Some say elements of the current debate reflect the thinking of a pre-9/11 world,” the short memo concluded. “Don’t worry about that. Keep your eye on our objective. For all of us at CIA, today’s date is clear: It’s always September 12th.” After the events in Britain, U.S. officials have tried to strike a balance between insisting that “we do not currently have any specific threat information that is credible about a particular attack in the United States,” as Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said yesterday, and asking Americans to keep a careful watch on their surroundings. Although the Department of Homeland Security did not raise the threat level, Chertoff and other officials said that security and surveillance have been increased in several ways, including the placement of more U.S. marshals on flights to Britain and other European destinations. Officials said the weekend’s events had only heightened existing concerns. “It’s not just what happened in England and Scotland that has us watching,” another counterterrorism official said. “We have had some concerns for some time.” On Jan. 22, the Holland Tunnel in New York was evacuated for several hours after a suspicious package was spotted after an accident. Hazardous-materials teams were brought in, and the package was blown up by a robot before the tunnel was reopened. In Georgetown on Saturday night, some restaurants and nightclubs were evacuated after firefighters spotted an abandoned backpack on a sidewalk. And on Sunday afternoon, police set up checkpoints on the access route into Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, stopping some cars and trucks for inspection. A senior administration official acknowledged that recent arrests of groups charged with plotting terrorist attacks in Miami and at Fort Dix, N.J., and John F. Kennedy International Airport, as well as the arrest of a man charged with planning to detonate an explosive device in an Illinois shopping mall, have “come under a great deal of criticism for not being serious.” But the official saw some vindication for U.S. law enforcement in the British plots. “Remember that the FBI and the law enforcement community have done important work in nipping these cells in the bud so that we don’t get to the stage of cars pouring into an airport terminal,” the official said. Saying that the British incidents “certainly appeared to be al-Qaeda-inspired,” the official said they were more of a “reminder” of an ongoing threat in this country than an indication that similar attacks are imminent here. Bruce Hoffman, a counterterrorism expert at Georgetown University, said he considered al-Qaeda involvement likely in the British incidents and disagreed with those who labeled the attacks amateurish. “They didn’t work, but I think of all the al-Qaeda plots we’ve seen, their sophistication is in their simplicity. They used available materials. Where they tripped up is in the detonation of the devices. That’s a trickier business.” The alleged perpetrators under arrest in Britain — two of them physicians — pose a challenge for both British and U.S. intelligence officials. The doctors’ names did not appear on any U.S. list of people with suspected terrorist ties, U.S. officials said. Al-Qaeda has made a “strategic investment” in Britain in recent years, Hoffman said, creating ties to an infrastructure of individuals and groups that are difficult to fit into an intelligence profile. By drawing from a large reservoir of potential operatives, Hoffman said, al-Qaeda is attempting to “break any attempt at profiles, and also to demonstrate the diversity of their movement.” Have Your Say: Attempts Seen As Model for New Attacks On U.S. Soil Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
