al Qaeda is still trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction according to a White House report on homeland security.

The National Strategy for Homeland Security report, released today, said al Qaeda has protected its top leadership, found new operational lieutenants and found a safe haven in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas, “core capabilities that would help facilitate another attack on the homeland.” It also said al Qaeda has proliferated into regional groups, including an affiliate in Iraq that is the only one known to have expressed a desire to attack the U.S. mainland.

The report calls for increasing anti-terror coordination at all levels of government,and states Al-Qaeda remains “the most serious and dangerous manifestation” of extremist threats against the United States.

The report notes Al Qaeda’s “persistent desire for weapons of mass destruction, as the group continues to try to acquire and use chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear material.”
