FBI Director Warns Terrorists Looking at Elections
WASHINGTON: During an interview with the Associated Press Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director Robert Mueller said Thursday that terrorists could attempt to influence the outcome of the U.S. presidential election by launching attacks in America and overseas.

unlike foreigners to the country who draw attention.
"In the wake of what happened in Madrid we have to be concerned about the possibility of terrorists attempting to influence elections in the United States by committing a terrorist act," Mueller said. Those conventions will bookend the Summer Olympics in Athens, another venue that could draw terrorist attacks. The United States has been concerned that security efforts in Athens may fall short of what is necessary to protect athletes and spectators.
