Will New Indictment Lead DHS to Include Banks on "Hit List?"
By Andrew Cochran
Today's indictment of 3 men for allegedly plotting to bomb American financial institutions might have been a big surprise to the Homeland Security Department. Two weeks ago, Justin Rood at Congressional Quarterly reported that DHS had excluded banks and other financial institutions from a list of likely terrorist targets over the next 5 years. Guess they can update that list now, and new DHS Secretary Chertoff has his work cut out for him.
