Terrorists may strike during presidential change: Bush
WASHINGTON: United States President George W Bush on Thursday warned that terrorists could strike the US during the transfer of power to president-elect Barack Obama.
“We’re in a struggle against violent extremists determined to attack us, and they would like nothing more than to exploit this period of change to harm the American people,” he said in a speech to aides at the White House.
Bush cited the threat of terrorism and “economic challenges that will not pause to let a new president settle in” among the top reasons for which “ensuring that this transition is as smooth as possible is a priority for the rest of my presidency”. afp
