TERRORISM Amerikanska Department of Homeland Security gick i tisdags ut med en terrorvarning som berör tusentals indusutrianläggningar. Enligt DHS har Al Qaida och dess militanta islamister lyckats infiltera högprofilerad infrastruktur så som kemikalifabriker, oljeraffinaderier eller kärnkraftsverk.
Grunden för varningen kommer från tillslaget mot Usama Bin Ladin där man beslagtog mängder med dokument, hårdiskar, datorer och handskrivna planer, där Usama Bin Ladin föreslog/planerade ett dåd som kan orsaka så mycket kaos och död som möjligt i samband med 10-årsdagen av 9 11.
I pressmeddelandet ”Insider Threat to Utilities” står det:
”Based on the reliable reporting of previous incidents, we have high confidence in our judgment that insiders and their actions pose a significant threat to the infrastructure and information systems of U.S. facilities,” the bulletin reads in part. ”Past events and reporting also provide high confidence in our judgment that insider information on sites, infrastructure, networks, and personnel is valuable to our adversaries and may increase the impact of any attack on the utilities infrastructure.”
”DHS routinely shares information with its state and local partners on a wide-range of potential threats, and as part of this responsibility, DHS issued an intelligence note to its federal, state, local, tribal and private sector partners on July 19 regarding potential threats to private sector utilities. While DHS has no specific, credible intelligence of an imminent threat posed to the private sector utilities, several recent incidents highlight the on-going threat to infrastructure in the utility sectors from insiders and outsiders seeking facility-specific information that might be exploited in an attack," DHS press secretary Matt Chandler said. "We will continue to work closely with our state and local partners, including our partners in the utility sector, to take steps to best protect from potential threats – including protecting our nation's infrastructure. This includes sharing information as well as best practices
