Report: U.S. terror attack not far off


WASHINGTON, June 6 (UPI) -- U.S. officials fear a domestic terror attack is
likely before the end of the year, as activity by "homegrown" cells is
increasing, CBS News reported Tuesday. 

Various officials told the network last weekend's terror arrests of 17
people in Canadian -- all of them Canadian citizens or residents -- shows
how the odds of a domestic attack are escalating. 

Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton pointed out a little-publicized
incident last summer when Muslim converts who had banded together in prison
began with a string of gas station robberies in Torrance, Calif. They later
admitted the money was to fund attacks on 20 Army recruiting stations, the
report said. 

"Make no mistake about it," Bratton told CBS. "We dodged a bullet here --
perhaps many bullets." 

Then, police in Toledo, Ohio, broke up a cell of three men training to
attack U.S. forces overseas in February. 

The officials said domestic terror cells are developing that al-Qaida leader
Osama bin Laden is not funding or organizing and is likely unaware of, the
report said.
