WTNH: FBI expanding interviews to ward off potential attacks
(Washington-AP, July 5, 2004 4:05 PM) _ With an eye toward potential terrorist attacks this summer and fall, the FBI is expanding efforts to find al-Qaida operatives before they strike.
An F-B-I official says the intelligence-gathering campaign will include increased emphasis on community interviews.
The agency has conducted community interviews before -- for example, sending agents into Arab-American neighborhoods to seek information after the Nine Eleven attacks.
The official says only a few interviews have taken place so far, but they'll be conducted on a larger scale in coming weeks.
The interviews are being driven by data gathered from the agency's Threat Task Force, plus experts from the intelligence community and Department of Homeland Security.
