Citing "multiple sources", Mr Ashcroft said Osama bin Laden's terror group may use a series of high profile events in the coming months to launch a spectacular attack.
He said at a news conference in Washington: "Credible intelligence from multiple sources indicates that al-Qaida plans to attempt an attack on the United States in the next few months."This disturbing intelligence indicates al-Qaida's specific intention to hit the US hard."
