TERRORIST THREATS AND PLANS
Tab B includes all reasonably credible reports of planned
terrorist activity. Although the reliability and access of
the sources vary considerably, the threats listed are consid-
ered sufficiently plausible to warrant alertness and the use
of protective security measures. However, terrorist groups
often discuss general intentions or make tentative plans for
violent acts that they never succeed in carrying out. In
nearly all the cases listed, the intended target and appro-
priate governments have been informed of the threat.
