President Obama rebuked the U.S. intelligence community Tuesday for a
"potentially disastrous" failure to detect an airline bombing plot, saying it
ignored various "red flags" and failed to pull together pieces of information
it already had that could have enabled authorities to stop a would-be suicide
bomber from boarding a Detroit-bound plane with hidden explosives on Christmas
Day. He called the intelligence breakdown intolerable and vowed that "we will
do better" in the future.
On his first full day back at the White House after an 11-day vacation in
Hawaii, Obama briefly outlined preliminary findings in a review he has ordered
of "human and systemic failures" that allegedly allowed a radicalized young
Nigerian to smuggle explosive chemicals aboard a Northwest Airlines jet and
attempt to bring it down as it approached Detroit with nearly 300 passengers
and crew.
Declaring that "the system has failed in a potentially disastrous way," Obama
said elements of the U.S. intelligence community knew that Abdulmutallab had
traveled to Yemen and joined up with extremists there. He added: "It now turns
out that our intelligence community knew of other red flags: that al-Qaeda in
the Arabian Peninsula sought to strike not only American targets in Yemen but
the United States itself." He referred to a branch of Osama bin Laden's
al-Qaeda terrorist network that operates in Yemen.
"The U.S. government had sufficient information" to have uncovered
Abdulmutallab's alleged plot, "but our intelligence community failed to connect
those dots," Obama said. "This was not a failure to collect intelligence," he
added. "It was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence we
already had."
He said he "will not tolerate" such intelligence failures. "We have to do
better, and we will do better."
Obama did not name any specific components of the intelligence community, which
consists of 16 agencies overseen by a director of national intelligence.
