FT. HUACHUCA, AZ/WASHINGTON, DC: The nation's largest intelligence
training center changed security measures in May after being warned that
Islamist terrorists with the aid of Mexican drug cartels were planning
an attack on the facility.
Fort Huachuca changed security measures after sources warned that
possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were smuggled into the U.S.
through underground tunnels with high powered weapons to attack the
post, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents
obtained by The Washington Times.
The FBI report is based on Drug
Enforcement Agency sources, including Mexican nationals with access to
"sub-sources" in the drug cartels. The report's assessment is that the
DEA's Mexican contacts have proven reliable in the past but the
"sub-source" is of uncertain reliability.
The connections between criminal enterprises, such as powerful drug cartels, and terrorist organizations have become a serious concern for intelligence agencies (and including Emergency Response & Research Institute analysts) monitoring the U.S.-Mexico border.
