 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush's White House counterterrorism adviser said Wednesday that U.S. officials believe al-Qaida wants to launch "a mass casualty, spectacular event" in the United States but don't think it can do so.
"Make no mistake, they're determined to figure out a way," said Frances Fragos Townsend. "So we work every day to make sure that doesn't happen."
Townsend, who went on the morning news shows to discuss the threat of terrorism a day after the administration released a chilling new National Intelligence Estimate, said, "The question is, do they have all the capabilities they need to do it and we don't think they have it yet."
