Well, US Attorney General John Ashcroft says that Al Qaeda is planning on hitting "soft targets," including sports arenas and amusement parks.
>>Ashcroft cited recent reports that al Qaeda cells are "still determined to attack Americans" and could be planning strikes coinciding with the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, as well as recent arrests in Europe of suspected terrorists allegedly planning chemical attacks.
"Recent reporting indicates an increased likelihood that al Qaeda may attempt to attack Americans in the United States and/or abroad in or around the end of the Hajj, a Muslim religious period ending mid-February 2003," Ashcroft said.
Ashcroft said the reports indicated that so-called "soft" targets -- those more lightly guarded, such as apartments, hotels, sports arenas and amusement parks -- are at an increased risk.<<
