Officials Told of 'Major Assault' Plans Inquiry: U.S. authorities were advised in August that as many as 200 terrorists were coming to U.S. as part of plot. By RICHARD A. SERRANO and JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG, Times Staff Writers WASHINGTON -- FBI and CIA officials were advised in August that as many as 200 terrorists were slipping into this country and planning "a major assault on the United States," a high-ranking law enforcement official said Wednesday. The advisory was passed on by the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency. It cautioned that it had picked up indications of a "large-scale target" in the United States and that Americans would be "very vulnerable," the official said. It is not known whether U.S. authorities thought the warning to be credible, or whether it contained enough details to allow counter-terrorism teams to come up with a response. But the official said the advisory linked the information "back to Afghanistan and [exiled Saudi militant] Osama bin Laden." it's all Clinton's fault.... RIGHT! as in WING! CC
