U.S. to Release Intelligence Report on Al-Qaida NewsMax.com Wires WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration will release on Tuesday an unclassified intelligence document describing al-Qaida's resurgence as a threat to the United States, officials said. The document consists of key judgments from a larger classified report called a "National Intelligence Estimate on the Terrorist Threat to the U.S. Homeland," which will also be released on Tuesday to President George W. Bush and Congress. Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the document will lay out the intelligence community's concerns about a growing al-Qaida threat one week after Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said he had a "gut feeling" that the United States is facing an increased risk of attack. Top intelligence officials told Congress last week that al-Qaida's activities have increased at sites in remote areas of northwestern Pakistan. But Bush and Chertoff denied subsequent media reports that U.S. intelligence believes al-Qaieda is as strong now as it was before the September 11 attacks in 2001.
