U S policy moving on germ weapon manuals
The Bush administration weighs restricting public access to documents on making germ weapons. Officials note stockpiles were destroyed under the 1972 convention, yet blueprints remain sold. Ridge and Marburger say action possible, details uncertain, amid post 9/11 vigilance. The Times reported manuals may enable anthrax production linked to last year’s deaths.
Ridge Says War on Terrorism Will Survive al-Qaida End
Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge cautioned that destroying al Qaida will not end the U S fight against terrorism. He compared it to ongoing wars on drugs and crime and warned that operatives or sympathizers may still be in the United States and that successor groups could emerge. Ridge said the nation is safer but cannot rule out more attacks. He disclosed uncertainty about the presence of operatives but urged vigilance in an open welcoming country.
