Acting tough, President Barack Obama on Wednesday sought by December 31 a preliminary report on the probe related to the botched al Qaeda attempt to blow up a US plane and a review of all prior information potentially relevant to it.
Hours after he expressed his disappointment over the "systemic failure" in the intelligence network and termed it "unacceptable," Obama signed two memorandums setting December 31 as the deadline for a preliminary investigation report into the failed December 25 attack.
The notifications issued to the Secretary of State, Defense Secretary, Attorney General, Energy Secretary and Director of National Intelligence deal with "screening" of passengers at the airports and the terror watch-list.
"All aspects of aviation screening technology and procedures regarding domestic and international air travel should be considered as part of this review," Obama said in his notifications, according to the White House.
Obama also sought a review of the inventory of watch-list files and an account of procedures and criteria followed for listing or not listing individuals on the terror watch-list.
In his notification, he also sought review of inventory of all intelligence or other information in US government files that existed prior to and up through December 25, relevant or potentially relevant to the alleged attempt and to the accused Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.
Also to be included in the review is any prior information indicating a plot to detonate an explosive device onboard Northwest flight 253, and the date on which the intelligence or other information was available.
