U.S. Sees New Al-Qaeda Threat

[Washington Post] Walter Pincus - Vice Adm. (ret.) John M. McConnell, the new director of national intelligence, told the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday that the U.S. is "very concerned" that Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda leadership are attempting to rebuild their terrorist network and establish training camps in a region of northwest Pakistan. "We inflicted a major blow, they retreated to another area, and they are going through a process to reestablish and rebuild, adapting to the seams or the weak spots as they might perceive them." He said an attack on the U.S. would "most likely" emerge from Pakistan, and warned that al-Qaeda elements in Iraq, Syria, and Europe are planning attacks. Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, confirmed that weapons training for Iraqi militia members is being provided in Iran as well as in Hizbullah camps in Lebanon.
