<<Sources tell ABCNEWS the warning is based on calls made by suspected terrorist groups, including some that emanated from Afghanistan, that were intercepted by U.S. intelligence over the weekend. The calls referred to a "big event" that is coming up, using a codeword to describe the event consistently in a series of calls. ABCNEWS counterterrorism consultant Vince Cannistraro reports evidence that such an attack is being set up is "overwhelming." But officials do not discount the possibility that electronic transmissions they are monitoring might be a form of deception. Intelligence officials say their key concern is the next 48 hours. "We are not recycling old stuff," a senior Bush administration official told ABCNEWS. "It is information that has been received in the last 24 and the last 48 hours. It is not just one piece of information but several pieces of information." That official said that while the intelligence indicates a threat within a certain timeframe, they are not ruling out anything beyond that. "The threats are credible enough that we believe that if an attack does not happen in the given time frame, then it is probably because of the enhanced law enforcement, not because an attack was not attempted or planned," the official said. "We find this threat information to be very real and very credible.">> abcnews.go.com
