Description

This hearing provides the Intelligence Community with an opportunity to present to the nation its views of the threats and challenges we face, and for Senators to ask questions of our intelligence leaders in public. It is also an opportunity to take stock of what has happened in the last year and what we can expect for 2012. Through the efforts of the leaders of the Intelligence Community, and the tens of thousands of civilian and military intelligence professionals they represent, 2011 was a year of numerous major intelligence successes, including, first and foremost, the operation that located and killed Osama bin Laden. This past year also saw the removal of top terrorist leaders, plotters and recruiters, including Anwar al-Awlaki, in Yemen; al-Qaäó»idaäó»s linchpin in Pakistan, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman; and numerous others, resulting in the disruption of specific terrorist plots, and casting into disarray al-Qaäó»idaäó»s senior leadership. Closer to home, since the previous hearing, there were at least twenty individuals arrested in the U.S. on terrorism-related charges in seventeen different investigations, which stopped them from carrying out or assisting in attacks on the Homeland. This report includes a list that describes each of these arrests. This is a print on demand report.
