WEEKEND ALERT AS FBI WARNS OF NEW ATTACK
By Dominic Kennedy and Damian Whitworth

America and the West are bracing themselves for another potential "Day of
Infamy" this Saturday, when accomplices of the hijackers are suspected of
having plotted new outrages.

The most solid evidence so far is the discovery that five associates of the
suicide gang had booked seats on two internal passenger flights, taking them
from Texas to California, in two days' time.

FBI agents are trying to capture as many key operatives as possible before
any plot can be put into action.

Water, gas and electricity suppliers, bridges, tunnels and underground
railways have increased security because of the perceived threat of
biological, chemical or physical attacks.

In a dramatic development, three Arab airport workers in Detroit were
arrested after FBI agents found them in a house with handwritten sketches of
an airport, aircraft and runways. They had a notebook containing information
about the "American base in Turkey", "Alia Airport" in Jordan and the
"American foreign minister", legal documents state. The three, Ahmed Hanna,
33, Karim Koubriti, 23, and Farouk Ali-Halmoud, 21, from Morocco and
Algeria, worked at Detroit Metropolitan Airport preparing food for airlines.

FBI agents stumbled across the trio while searching the address of Habil
al-Marabh, a suspected associate of the World Trade Centre hijackers. The
Arabs said that they did not know him. They have been charged with
conspiracy and having false immigration papers.

The FBI is concentrating its energies on deterring more attacks this
Saturday. "Yes, we have heard something about September 22 but nothing
specific," an investigative source told America's Knight Ridder news
service.

"We have information that leads us to believe that there could be more
attacks very soon. The same murky sources that indicated something might be
happening in the weeks before the attacks have indicated something may be
happening this weekend."

Bob Graham, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that the New
York and Washington suicide strikes were "part of a larger plan with other
terrorism acts, not necessarily the hijacking of airplanes".

The FBI has issued a "watch list" of 223 people suspected of being
associates of the hijackers. Nearly a quarter of the people on the list are
able to fly aircraft.
