Al-Qaeda captives say another big one's coming
Al Qaeda members captured in recent weeks in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan have provided important information about a possible impending terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, according to senior American intelligence officials. The interrogations of the Al Qaeda members have been a major factor in raising American concerns about a possible attack to a level not seen since Sept. 11, 2001, the intelligence officials said. They added that the captured Al Qaeda members had provided clues that traced planning for a major attack back to the group's central leadership, including Osama bin Laden, who is believed to be in the Afghan-Pakistan border region. ''We don't have specificity to exact time, place or location,'' a senior intelligence official said. ''But it's more than just them saying generally that there's something coming,'' a senior intelligence official said. American officials have warned for the last two weeks about such an attack but have refused to describe the source of their information. Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-07-23 |
