Obama calls meeting of intelligence chiefs
None
President Barack Obama said he would meet the heads of U.S. intelligence agencies on Tuesday to discuss ways of preventing a repeat of the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner on Dec. 25.
Obama said in a statement he expected to receive assessments from several intelligence agencies Thursday evening and would review them during the weekend. He ordered the assessments after criticizing what he called the systemic failure that allowed the accused bomber to board the plane in Amsterdam. (Reuters)
