Binny still capable of major attack on US
Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, even on the run, is still capable of plotting a major terror attack on the United States, a senior aide to U.S. President George W. Bush warned Monday.During an interview with CBS television, Bush's advisor Dan Bartlett said, "We have to assume that he (bin Laden) can (plan such an attack). We have to be very vigilant in what we do to protect our country." He was referring to the threats against the United States made by bin Laden in an audiotape broadcast last week. The CIA has confirmed the voice in the tape is that of the terrorist leader, Bartlett said U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials have studied the tape very closely and "take all threats very seriously." He said it is the country's luck that it hasn't been attacked since Sept. 11 ,2001, but Americans can't take that for granted and can't become complacent. Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-01-24 |
