US Warns Allies
Possible Second Attack This Week
Sunday, Sept. 23, 2001
TOKYO (Reuters News Service) The United States has warned its
allies of
a possible second round of attacks by the end of this week
following the
deadly recent strikes against New York and Washington, Jiji news
agency
quoted Japanese government sources as saying.
The next round of attacks, if really launched, would be on an even
greater scale than those on September 11, which killed more than
6,000
people, according to information provided to Japan by the United
States,
Jiji said.
The news agency quoted the sources as saying on Saturday that
the "means
of terrorism" would be "more cruel and shocking" than in the
September
11 carnage, when hijackers flew airliners into New York's World
Trade
Center and the Pentagon in Washington.
The targets of the possible attacks were unknown but possibilities
included members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) and
Pakistan, Jiji said.
The government sources said attacks on Japan could not be ruled
out
since Tokyo has expressed support for U.S. retaliation against the
September 11 strikes.
The United States has judged that a second round of attacks, if
carried
out, is likely by the end of this week at the latest, the sources said.
Japan's public security authorities have gone on heightened alert
since
receiving the information from the United States.
Washington suspects that a group led by fugitive Saudi-born
millionaire
Osama bin Laden has been contemplating attacks using biological
and
chemical weapons, such as sarin nerve gas, for years, according to
the
sources.
The United States has information that the group has already
acquired
small airplanes to spray bacteria causing smallpox or anthrax from
the
air, Jiji quoted the sources as saying.
Time magazine reported on Saturday that investigators had found a
crop-dusting manual during a search for those responsible for the
attacks on New York and Washington, triggering concern that crop-
dusting
planes might be used for chemical or biological assaults.
The FBI in Washington said it had not seen the report and had no
comment
on it.
