Official: Al-Qaida eying chem-bio attack in U.S.
Top security official sees increased risk in coming months
The Associated Press

Updated: 10:06 a.m. ET May 19, 2004WASHINGTON - The top intelligence official at the Homeland Security Department, worried about an increased risk of attack in coming months, says al-Qaida wants to strike on U.S. soil with something other than a conventional explosive — perhaps with a chemical or biological weapon.

Retired Lt. Gen. Patrick Hughes said in an Associated Press interview that America has gotten better at predicting and safeguarding itself against attacks since Sept. 11, 2001. But Hughes said he fears that new terrorists “are being made every single day on the streets of the Middle East.”

As Homeland Secretary Tom Ridge prepares to testify Wednesday before the Sept. 11 commission in New York, Hughes and his deputies at the agency’s information analysis division say the nation’s security has improved since the terrorist attacks claimed nearly 3,000 lives.
