Another terrorist attack could hit the United States in the next five years — and North Texas could be a key target next time.
By 2013, the U.S. “more likely than not” could be hit by another deadly attack, this time using something possibly like anthrax, according to the new report, World at Risk.
And some fear that North Texas, with its population, sports and entertainment venues and businesses — not to mention the fact that President George W. Bush is moving back here after he leaves office in January — could be a target next time.
“Everybody should be concerned,” said Danny Defenbaugh, a former special agent in charge for the FBI in North Texas. “In Dallas-Fort Worth, this is the Metroplex. That should be reason for concern.”
Officials released the report by the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism not to scare Americans but to point out that the government isn’t doing enough to

Oops! It was just left fieldish enough to make me laugh, lazamataz style. I had no idea it was a movie line!
Hi, right back at ya!
Pee Wee’s Big adventure
Yes.
Hunt has a nice new building on Woodall-Rogers.
Pantex isn't in North Texas. It's in the Panhandle, as the name suggests.
“But anyway, I now understand that it is now a Gentleman’s Club. A money-making business. Not saying its right, but you have to acknowledge that they bring in the cash.”
Oh no. I ate there just a few months ago. Like the swing, like the cheese and love the prime rib there. There was a nude bar right next door at that time. Are you sure Old San Francisco is no more?
It’s bben happening for a while. The Feds just don’t want us to know.

The Alamo is not anywhere near North Texas. It is 5 hours south.
No. The panhandle would be more West Texas.
Ok, the Panhandle is what general compass direction from Dallas... Up??
The only target that would really worry me here in North Texas would be Beslan-style attacks on some of the larger schools we have in the area.
Yeah. I know. Neither is the intersection of 410&I35 shown in the article.
Take a guess where that would be, Mr. Smarmy?
LOL.
Anyhow, fyi, I was responding to Spykter who said Texas doesn't have any buildings with a "world profile." Yes, we do. Move along.
Of course, 410 is in San Antonio, as is the sign to Laredo. People who don't know Texas don't really believe how far it is to get anywhere.
I like the signs on I10 in Tucson:
WEST: Phoenix
EAST: El Paso
(True, but nothing in New Mexico worth mentioning!)
bttt
Don't say that to anyone from NM!!! They hate Texans enough as it is. (I was married to one, and have dated others.)
I went to WTSU (now WT A&M). There is nothing between Amarillo and the North Pole but a barbed wire fence.
I was flying from DFW to LA once. The pilot came on the intercom and said that El Paso was just below us, and that now we were half way to LA.
