The INS was not on alert. Nonsense, This was no double-secret alert like Junior pretends to have issued. Clinton was not on vacation, and the threat was averted. cnn.com saag.org <font color=green>Tenet: No doubt bin Laden planning attacks Administration officials told CNN they thought the threat was credible and was primarily related to accused terrorist Osama bin Laden, whom they believe to have been behind the bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa last year. Those attacks, which occurred virtually simultaneously at U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killed more than 200 people and put bin Laden on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list. The United States has offered a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to his arrest. "This is bin Laden," one official told CNN. A worldwide caution was issued, officials add, since the presumed network of bin Laden is considered to be worldwide. Former CIA Director George Tenet said, "There is not the slightest doubt that Osama bin Laden, his worldwide allies, and his sympathizers are planning further attacks against us." Officials said the threat "originates from people whom we believe are members of the bin Laden network." Another source said the threats "were from a credible organization, deemed capable of carrying out one or more attacks." This official said "it would be a mistake" to remove bin Laden from the list of organizations capable of carrying out such attacks. A senior official familiar with U.S. intelligence on the threats said bin Laden "was the place to start," and, "when we say credible threat you can connect the dots and say there are not many organizations left who could lead us to make a worldwide declaration." </font> - December 1999 TP
