Terror Analysis: Better Late than Never
By Micah Halpern

Saturday January 22, 2005

I've Been Thinking:

Authorities are looking for a Moroccan, Amer Azizi, a major player in the simultaneous Madrid train bombings that murdered nearly 200 people on the eve of the Spanish election.

They now believe that Azizi met with two of the 9/11 bombers, specifically Mohamed Atta.

Well good morning. Even if they did not have direct evidence "authorities" should have been thinking about this. Counter terror analysis is not like preparing a trial. You do not need irrefutable evidence. You need to predict the future and find the loose links and make the connections that the terrorists are making.

Thankfully, the people who need to know are now starting to understand the nature of these networks, that they are very loosely connected and search out one another for support and assistance.

Better late than never, but they should have figured it out a long time ago.
