Al Qaeda highly likely to attack US: Homeland security chief says terror alert level will not be raised
Intelligence from multiple sources indicates that al Qaeda intends to attack the United States in the coming months, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said Wednesday.
'This disturbing intelligence indicates al Qaeda's specific intention to hit the United States hard,' Ashcroft said in a news conference. 'Beyond this intelligence, al Qaeda's own public statements indicate that it is almost ready to attack the United States.'
Ashcroft said that after the March 11 train bombings in Madrid, Spain, 'an al Qaeda spokesman announced 90 percent of the arrangements for an attack on the United States were complete.'
