 XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SAT SEPT 07 2002 17:40:39 ET XXXXX 'LONDON COULD BE NEXT MASS TERROR TARGET' - BUSH AIDE London could be the next target for a massive attack by terrorists or a rogue state just as easily any American city, President George W Bush's national security adviser Condoleezza Rice has warned. In an interview for The Sunday Times, Ms Rice argued that in the post-September 11 environment, Europe was just as vulnerable to attack as the United States. "We now know what happens when evil people have the means to attack you and are determined to do it. (The next target) wouldn't have to be New York or Washington. "It could indeed be London or Berlin. And I think that is what President Bush and Prime Minister Blair both see." She cautioned that the time had come to deal with the threat posed by Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. "If we aren't prepared to deal with his defiance now, will we be more prepared to deal with his violence when he is capable of delivering a nuclear weapon against either the United States or Britain? ... I would ask the question, not why now, but why later?" Ms Rice maintained President Bush had yet to decide how to deal with Saddam, insisting he was still "reviewing all options". On a possible role for UN inspectors, Ms Rice said Saddam had been frustrating all efforts to ensure he has disarmed for many years. She added: "We have to ask ourselves how to get a different result this time, in terms of dealing with the threat." END |
