The leader of Germany's foreign intelligence agency warned Tuesday of an increased likelihood of a major terror attack by Al Qaeda in the weeks before the American elections.
"There is fear of a big attack on America by the terror organization Al Qaeda before the presidential elections in November,'' August Hanning, director of the Federal Intelligence Service, said in a speech in Heidelberg, Deutsche Presse-Agentur reported.
He said that Al Qaeda had realigned its structure and personnel and that the likelihood of terror attacks was "bigger than ever before." |
