CIA warns of al-Qaeda threat to Turkey
The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) warned Turkey that the terrorist network, al-Qaeda plans to attack the country with high rate radiation-nuclear materials.CIA Director Porter Goss held top-level meetings with the National Intelligence Organization (MIT), and visited the General Security Directorate during his three day-visit to the Turkish capital Ankara recently. Goss mentioned terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda and the Kurdish Workersâ Party (PKK) could easily be destroyed with the help of shared intelligence, and steps to further share information were undertaken upon his return to the United States. CIA sent the MIT a secret al-Qaeda cryptic message last week, in which reportedly the terror organization will send nuclear materials including high rate-radiation to selected targets by using international cargo companies such as UPS and FedEx. Turkeyâs Intelligence Undersecretary warned the Security Directorate about the CIAâs coded message. MIT and the General Security Directorate investigated the cargo packages sent to Turkey through international transport companies. Top-level security precautions were taken in the cargo departments of international airports such as Istanbul Ataturk, Sabiha Gokcen, Ankara Esenboga, Izmir Adnan Menderes and Antalya. Al-Qaeda is claimed to have developed such action plans in order to not lose members. Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-01-06 |
