TERROR FLYING IN

Maybe as long as the United States keep on waging war in the Middle East, making his political power felt in the realms of shiite, sunnite landlords and other fundamentalist streams, they will have a somber shadow hanging around them. It was not by chance that on September 11, 2001 Osama Bin Laden brought terror onto the American land and sparkled a period of hunting war for the world´s number one terrorist. It also brought pain and devastation to thousnads of families who have seen their children die in a strange land, far, too far from home and for which they have seen no aim and end in sight. Countless attempts to bear fruit to terror attacks on American soil have been tried, what has given lots of work to the U.S. investigation agencies in order to find out plot cells scattered around the country. And other countless battles have been fought on harsh soil on a search that day in and day out reveals itself meaningless, given the endless aspect of Al-Qaeda and Taliban insurgents´ bold resistance, whether to fight back the allied power´s invasion or simply to show how powerful those guerrila-type warriors have grown.Now there´s the puzzling threat posed by a Nigerian passenger who boarded a plane in the Netherlands and butted all the major security systems settled by such big airports in these hard times and almost blew a jetliner to the sky upon arrival in the United States. The U.S. authorities have been simply wondering how on earth this would-be terrorist was able to board a plane carriyig just a hangbag for luggage with explosive devices atttached to his body, fooling scanning systems before entering the plane and nearly achieved another terrible tragedy within America, considering he had been declared a significant threat to world peace by his own father!. Maybe the U.S. security alerts have not been accurate enough to notice that the latest intelligence methods geared towards terror have evolved in a much faster pace than wartime technology itself.
