CIA: Afghanistan, Pakistan border region 'danger' to US
The situation in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan where al-Qaeda has established a safe haven presents a "clear and present danger" to the West, the CIA director said Sunday.
Michael Hayden cited the belief by intelligence agencies that Osama bin Laden is hiding there in arguing that the US has an interest in targeting the border region. If there were another terrorist attack against Americans, Hayden said, it would most certainly originate from that region. (AP)
