BERNARD SHAW, CNN ANCHOR: First, terrorism aimed at the United States mainland. The director of the Central Intelligence Agency has revealed new, disturbing information testifying before Congress in Washington Wednesday. Our national security correspondent David Ensor is here with more -- David.</s>DAVID ENSOR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Bernie, during the heightened alert against terrorism over the New Year's holiday, U.S. intelligence officials were surprised by the size of the international terrorist networks they uncovered, so says CIA Director George Tenet. They resolved to try to systematically disrupt them.</s>GEORGE TENET, CIA DIRECTOR: Indeed, what we learned over the course of the last -- in the five or six weeks leading up to the New Year's celebrations, on the basis of all the actions we took, we learned that there is an infrastructure out there that is perhaps bigger than we anticipated, and we essentially have undertaken to systematically develop a strategic plan to attack this infrastructure. And I don't want to say more than that.</s>ENSOR: Links have been found, officials say, between leaders of the group headed by Osama bin Laden and a number of other key individuals or groups, such as Egyptian Islamic Jihad and the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria, some of whose members were arrested on the border with Canada and accused of trying to stage a terrorist attack in the U.S. At his annual report on the worldwide threat to U.S. national security, Tenet also warned that several rogue states may soon threaten Americans in a new way.</s>TENET: Over the next 15 years, however, our cities will face ballistic missile threats from a wider variety of actors: North Korea, probably Iran, and possibly Iraq.</s>ENSOR: The North Koreans may already be able to hit the U.S. with a missile, Tenet said. Iran should be able to do it in the next few years. Iraq, within a decade -- Bernie.</s>SHAW: Thank you, David Ensor.
