FROM DEBKA INTELLIGENCE FILES30-50 more suicide Intelligence sources say they wait for orders to strike
Editor's note: DEBKAfile's electronic news publication is a news-*-analysis live wire, online round the clock seven days a week. A weekly edition, DEBKA-Net-Weekly, is now available through WorldNetDaily.com. Drawing on DEBKAfile's unique sources, analytical talents and forward-looking insights, it is presented as a compact, intelligence-angled weekly package. It is available as a direct e-mail feed or via the Internet. c 2001 WorldNetDaily.com The FBI's coast-to-coast dragnet on the trail of the terrorists behind the deadly airliner suicide attacks in America will need to do much more than put together a case for crimes committed, says DEBKA-Net-Weekly. The agency will have to move fast into the area of terror prevention so that America is not caught off-guard again. Prevention was where U.S. security fell down most tragically, allowing terrorist suicides to use airliners as weapons of mass destruction against New York's landmark World Trade Center and America's military nerve center, the Pentagon in Washington. Advance intelligence on the appalling crimes was nil. And when that first-line defense failed, the second-line barrier, security, was likewise non-existent. But it is not over. The threat against America's president, its ruling institutions, its financial and military might is still palpable. Indeed, according to DEBKA-Net-Weekly's counter-terror experts, reporting from U.S. security and Israeli intelligence sources, the Islamic militants obeying Saudi multimillionaire terrorist Osama Bin Laden, the radical Egyptian Jihadi Islami, Iraqi military intelligence and other Middle East groups, stand poised for a second wave of horrendous attacks. An estimated 30 to 50 suicide-killers are waiting inside America for their orders to strike. This time, while aiming as before for the president, the White House and Capitol Hill, they will also go for a broad spectrum of what they consider strategic targets, such as airports, oil fields and oil installations, sensitive military and intelligence facilities, warships and carriers. The last were indeed ordered out to sea shortly after the assaults on Tuesday. Aware that flushing out the terrorists in waiting, many of whom may be U.S. nationals, is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, U.S. leaders quickly resorted to a short cut. They turned to allies, in and outside NATO, in the arena in which America fell down most signally: advance intelligence. According to DEBKA-Net-Weekly's intelligence sources, a comprehensive round of discreet telephone calls went out Wednesday from President George W. Bush, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and CIA Director George Tenet. The calls went to German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Russian President Vladimir Putin, French President Jacques Chirac, Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, Indian Prime Minister Bihari Vajpayee and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. They were all asked to have their counter-terror and security agencies pool intelligence with their counterparts in Washington, sharing every scrap of information on international terror movements in support of the American effort to eradicate the blight. Aside from France, which posed conditions - and China, which has yet to reply - all the other leaders promised every assistance and full cooperation. Within hours, rough cross-checking of U.S. intelligence data with the flow from foreign colleagues was enough to strongly confirm the second wave thesis. It also indicated that the masters of international terror intend landing their second blow while the American government and people are still recovering from the first. They will not wait for the United States to get itself and its anti-terror coalition organized for a tough retaliatory war.
