Al-Qaeda would continue to try attack UStargets: Stratfor

Washington, Dec 30 (PTI) Al-Qaeda in Arabian
Peninsula would continue to try attack US targets
with "new designs and innovation" after its failed
attempt to blow up a US plane on Christmas Day,
an American a global intelligence company has
said.
"The incident was most likely a proof-of-concept
attempt, and had it worked, more attacks with
similar devices probably would have followed.
"The attack's failure means the bomb maker will
have to think up a new design and will continue
trying to attack US targets ? assuming he is still
alive after recent attacks on AQAP in Yemen. This
means security efforts must focus on looking for
the bomber, not just on looking for bombs,"
Stratfor said in its latest report.
