U.S. intelligence agencies concluded recently that al Qaeda — fearing its credibility is on the line — is moving ahead with plans for a major, "spectacular" attack, despite disruptions of some operations by recent arrests in Britain and Pakistan.
Officials said recent intelligence assessments of the group, which is blamed for the September 11 attacks, state that an attack is coming and that the danger will remain high until the Nov. 2 elections and last until Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

By Martin Chulov in Tel Aviv
September 20, 2004

AL-QAEDA'S new torchbearers are on the march. The next generation of Islamist leaders is more determined, more ruthless and far more dangerous than its predecessors. And the world is just getting to know them.

THE three main Southeast Asian Islamic terrorist groups have had a strong, secret alliance for almost 20 years, which continues to train Jemaah Islamiah's bomb-makers, intelligence documents reveal.

DESPITE ATTACKS, SAUDIS STILL FEED JIHAD


HERZLIYA, Israel [MENL] -- Saudi Arabia, despite a vigorous military campaign against Islamic insurgents, was said to have continued financing the Al Qaida-inspired war against the West.
