White House Warns of Terror Strike
(Washington Post) The Bush administration believes more strongly than ever that al-Qaeda terrorists plan a massive pre-election attack in August or September, a White House official said Thursday. Administration officials said they believe at least part of the plot has been disrupted with recent arrests and computers seizures. Nevertheless, the official referred to "the pre-election plot" and said the government has intelligence in which suspected terrorists "were talking about the election." "They took an enormous boost from the outcome of the Spanish election," an official said. In Spain, the ruling party was thrown out in March after terrorist train bombings killed 191 people three days before the election.
