there are al qaeda is morphing, metastasia taetastasi is beyond afghanistan and, it s on the arabian peninsula and we have homegrown terrorists in the u.s., and al qaeda reached out and recruited americans, living here and the zazi case, in new york and the liquid bomb explosive attack, that was going to be carried out on the new york city subway system and we have anwar al-awlaki, the sheikh in yemen, the imam in yemen, head of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and they are real threats, on a daily basis, and as you point out a lot of people criticized how the administration handled the christmas day bomber. that was almost a year ago. do you have indications they are thinking about the problem differently and the responses they had to that would never happen again today? martha, they ve certainly refined their approach, it is much more direct and as each day goes by the administration
differt countries and wannabes, all of which will dangerous. but i don t think they can carry out another 9/11. they couldn t get their hands on some sort of nuclear device and and kill thousands and thous of people? because that s an enormous fear that people have out there. i think the chances of that are really remote, wolf. i mean, it s conceivable. it s in the realm of possibility,ut what s much more likely is that one of these attempts like the times square bomber or the or the zazi guy who wanted to n blow up the subways in new york, one of those guys will get lucky. it will be an individual or a small group. it will be devastating but won t 9/11. bin laden, do you believe he s somewhere hidintog togethe with iman al zahari?
day this comes fromome grown andhey are more diverse. that is by a report released by a group. it america prepared to deal with home grown terrorist attacngs. congressman king. hese were in your district. describe the new thrits and not looking for the 9/11 sensational style attack. we are successful in stopping al qaeda. it would be almost impossible to launch another 9/11 attacks . the allis and w . devastating attacks . now they are going to use people living legally in this country. zazi was involved in a explosive. and former coffee cart guy. he was here and raise in queens and went to high school in queens and had a business downtown. and fasal.
