Ridge told BBC's Newsnight programme that the US administration had stepped up security after "a stream of intelligence" pointed to an air attack on cities in the US. "It talks about attacks equal to or greater than those that occurred on September 11, talked about these attacks occurring in a time frame that covered our traditional holiday period, and it also included reference to aviation," Ridge said. Ridge told the BBC that the intelligence pointed to specific flights which the British, French and Mexican governments "are very much aware of, as are the travelling public in those countries." "A combination of" intelligence and less specific information had caused the US authorities to step up security and warn other nations of the threat to aviation, Ridge said. "Some of it is a direct result of analysis from multiple sources and some of it is from very specific sources that have given us some specific information the nature of which we viewed as credible and we've been able in some measure to corroborate," Ridge said. Ridge, speaking after talks with British government officials in Washington over improving airline security, said both countries wanted to draw up guidelines on how to respond to terror threats. The talks came as British Airways flight 223 from Heathrow to Washington finally took off late Wednesday after being delayed for the fifth successive day after the US authorities demanded more information on the passengers making the trip. Ridge said he had discussed with Sir David Omand, the permanent secretary to the Cabinet Office, the best way to deal with information -- whether relating to flight 223 or others -- and what level of security was necessary. But Ridge insisted that flight 223, one of three the airline operates daily to the US capital, is now safe and he would "absolutely" let one of his own children take it. ag/bm/rc -__ ___ _ ___ __ ___ _ _ _ __ /-_|-0-\-V-/-\|-|-__|-|-|-/-_| \_-\--_/\-/|-\\-|-_||-V-V-\_-\ |__/_|--//-|_|\_|___|\_A_/|__/ SPY NEWS is OSINT newsletter and discussion list associated to Mario's Cyberspace Station - The Global Intelligence News Portal http://mprofaca.cro.net ######## CAUTION! ######### Since you are receiving and reading documents, news stories, comments and opinions not only from so called (or self-proclaimed) "reliable sources", but also a lot of possible misinformation collected by Spy News moderator and subscribers and posted to Spy News for OSINT purposes - it should be a serious reason (particularly to journalists and web publishers) to think twice before using it for their story writing, further publishing or forwarding throughout Cyberspace.
