Newsweek: Al Qaeda -- Terror Network Remains As Dangerous As Ever, Bent on More Attacks Against U.S. Interests, Officials Say bin Laden Lieutenant in Custody Tells of Plan for Explosive Jacket Detonated By A Suicide Bomber to Bring Down Plane; Used Own Metal Detectors to Learn Which Materials Would Elude Airport Security Story Filed: Sunday, October 13, 2002 10:36 AM EST NEW YORK, Oct 13, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Al Qaeda terrorist network, even in its more decentralized form, remains as dangerous as ever and bent on perpetrating a spectacular attack against U.S. interests, officials tell Newsweek in the current issue. "Al Qaeda has a demonstrated ability to learn from previous attacks, apply patience and ingenuity, and take advantage of security gaps," says a recent intelligence report obtained by Newsweek. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20021013/NYSU005 ) Those fears were intensified by what investigators have learned during recent interrogations of Qaeda operatives, report Washington Bureau Chief Daniel Klaidman and Correspondent-at-Large Rod Nordland in the October 21 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 14). Abu Zubaydah, the senior bin Laden lieutenant captured by U.S. forces last spring, has laid out in detail how Al Qaeda's tactics continuously evolve. One example of Qaeda entrepreneurialism: plans for an explosive jacket detonated by a suicide bomber to bring down a civilian airliner. Abu Zubaydah has told U.S. interrogators about conversations he had with members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad in which they discussed how explosives would be placed in an "ordinary but thick winter or rain jacket" after the insulation had been removed. "At the base of the jacket would be two wires, one red and one black, which the bomber would cross at an opportune time to detonate the device," according to Abu Zubaydah's account, obtained by Newsweek. The terrorist planners, Abu Zubaydah went on to say, had used their own metal and explosive detectors to determine which materials would elude airport safety.
