"For many years to come, Americans will become increasingly less secure," according to the 143-page report drafted by a high-powered commission sponsored by President Bill Clinton and the US Congress. "America will become increasingly vulnerable to hostile attack on our homeland, and our military superiority will not entirely protect us," said the report drafted by the Commission on National Security, made up of 25 eminent defense experts who have served under successive US administrations. The report says that scientific progress has boosted the potential for terrorism, citing the potential horror of a cyber attack on the air traffic control systems on the US East Coast, "as some 200 commercial aircrafts are trying to land safely in a morning's rain and fog." Worse still, the report indicates, is the destructive power of biological weapons in the wrong hands. "The most serious threat to our security may consist of unannounced attacks on American cities by sub-national groups using genetically engineered pathogens," it said. "In the hands of despots, the new science could become a tool of genocide on an unprecedented scale." Former senator Warren Rudman brushed aside suggestion it was alarmist. "This report is hardly apocalyptic," he said. "I have all the facts." International terrorism expert
Mary-Jane Deeb said the report was close to reality. "The report has not
been released to spread panic but to prompt the US security agencies to
be more prudent and vigilant, especially in border areas," said Deeb, a
professor at American University here.
