Attempts Seen As Model for New Attacks On U.S. Soil - washingtonpost.com: "The incidents in England and Scotland, counterterrorism officials said, coincide with recent U.S. intelligence indicating stepped-up movement of money and people from al-Qaeda camps in the ungoverned tribal areas of Pakistan, near the Afghan border. Several senior U.S. military officials were sharply critical yesterday of what they saw as the Pakistani government's unwillingness to move forcefully against the camps and the U.S. administration's failure to press Pakistan harder to curtail what one called a terrorist 'growth industry.'

Al-Qaeda's 'presence in the tribal areas has not been this secure since before 9/11,' one senior U.S. military intelligence official wrote in an e-mail."
