TERRORISM : UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT: U.S. Broadens Criteria for Investigating Foreigners on Terrorism Watch Lists U.S. Broadens Criteria for Investigating Foreigners on Terrorism Watch Lists By R. Jeffrey Smith Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, January 4, 2010; 5:31 PM<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/ content/article/2010/01/04/AR2010010402601.html>
A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/yl7n2y3>U.S. intelligence and homeland security officials said they have broadened their criteria for scrutinizing foreigners on watch lists and possibly excluding them from the country, in an initial government-wide response to the attempted bombing of a U.S. airplane on Christmas Day.
The move follows the announcement that passengers traveling from certain countries to the United States will be targeted for additional screening, including airport pat-downs. Under the new criteria, if a foreigner's name is on a terrorism-related list, the person could be investigated further because of age or nationality or even barred from entering the country.
"Even those with thin info, but who come from a certain region or are affiliated with certain people, have been added to a new list and are getting additional scrutiny," a senior intelligence official explained. The change, the official said, resulted from a broad consensus that the existing system for identifying terrorists and preventing their entry into the country had failed to operate as it should have before Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab allegedly attempted to blow up an airliner.
Officials said that President Obama's top advisers plan to detail how that failure occurred when they meet with him Tuesday.
