US Terrorist Threat
As we know, there are fears that the terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks could be planing another strike now in response to this strike against Afghanistan. US Vice President Dick Cheney has already been moved to a secure location, as a safety measure; at this level of military action, the President and his deputy are always kept apart, to ensure at least one is safe. But is America ready for any follow-up terrorist attack? Can it keep its leaders safe? Vince Cannistrano, former CIA counter-terrorism chief, spoke to us. So too did John Pike, director of Global Security-dot-org, a defence and intelligence policy organisation.
