Target: America: Critical infrastructure remains vulnerable to terrorists
Article Abstract:
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the enemy documents that were captured indicated that New York and Washington in the United States (U.S.) could face terrorist threats, which in turn highlighted that the country's physical and digital infrastructure was vulnerable to terrorists. Efforts are being taken by the Department of Homeland Security for identifying, quantifying and prioritizing potential domestic vulnerabilities and protecting them from terrorist attacks.

Battling future demons: War on terrorism belongs in Africa, not Iraq
Article Abstract:
The United States is now concentrating in securing its future safety against terrorism by going on war against countries, which produce weapons of mass destruction such as biological and chemical weapons. In its search for countries having weapons of mass destruction, it is to be seen whether the U.S. focuses on the African countries also.

Battling future demons
Article Abstract:
The war on terrorism in Iraq has taken a heavy toll, both in American and Iraqi lives, and has weakened the U.S. military even as greater threats to U.S. security loom elsewhere in the world. The war, however, belongs in Africa instead of Iraq, where Islamic fundamentalists and terrorist groups like al-Qaeda are operating.
