Weekend alert as FBI warns of new attack

BY DOMINIC KENNEDY AND DAMIAN WHITWORTH

 AMERICA and the West are bracing themselves for another potential "Day
of Infamy" this Saturday, when accomplices of the hijackers are
suspected of having plotted new outrages. 

The most solid evidence so far is the discovery that five associates of
the suicide gang had booked seats on two internal passenger flights,
taking them from Texas to California, in two days' time. 

FBI agents are trying to capture as many key operatives as possible
before any plot can be put into action. 

Water, gas and electricity suppliers, bridges, tunnels and underground
railways have increased security because of the perceived threat of
biological, chemical or physical attacks. 

In a dramatic development, three Arab airport workers in Detroit were
arrested after FBI agents found them in a house with handwritten
sketches of an airport, aircraft and runways.  They had a notebook
containing information about the "American base in Turkey", "Alia
Airport" in Jordan and the "American foreign minister", legal documents
state.  The three, Ahmed Hanna, 33, Karim Koubriti, 23, and Farouk
Ali-Halmoud, 21, from Morocco and Algeria, worked at Detroit
Metropolitan Airport preparing food for airlines. 

FBI agents stumbled across the trio while searching the address of Habil
al-Marabh, a suspected associate of the World Trade Centre hijackers. 
The Arabs said that they did not know him.  They have been charged with
conspiracy and having false immigration papers. 

The FBI is concentrating its energies on deterring more attacks this
Saturday.  "Yes, we have heard something about September 22 but nothing
specific," an investigative source told America's Knight Ridder news
service. 

"We have information that leads us to believe that there could be more
attacks very soon.  The same murky sources that indicated something
might be happening in the weeks before the attacks have indicated
something may be happening this weekend."

Bob Graham, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that the
New York and Washington suicide strikes were "part of a larger plan with
other terrorism acts, not necessarily the hijacking of airplanes". 

The FBI has issued a "watch list" of 223 people suspected of being
associates of the hijackers.  Nearly a quarter of the people on the list
are able to fly aircraft.
