3 years after terror attacks, anti-Western ideology on the rise
POSTED: 11:24 a.m. PDT September 11, 2004
SEATTLE -- Washington and its cities, ports, counties, hospitals and businesses are spending at least 462 million dollars in federal funds for homeland security measures.
Much of the money provided following the terror attacks three years ago today is going to Sea-Tac Airport -- about 210 million dollars. But state agencies and local governments are getting tens of millions of dollars to help prevent or respond to possible terrorist acts.
Major General Timothy Lowenberg -- commander of the Washington National Guard and overseer of state security efforts -- considers the Northwest a "target-rich environment." But there have been no intelligence reports suggesting an attack in the region is imminent.
