[[Operation Liberty Shield]]: Statement by Homeland Security Secretary [[Tom Ridge]] (Operation Liberty Shield launched Monday, March 17, 2003)
.
The Department of Homeland Security in consultation with the [[Homeland Security Council]], has made the decision to raise the [[national threat level]] from an Elevated to High risk of terrorist attack or Level Orange. The [[Intelligence Community]] believes that terrorists will attempt multiple attacks against U.S. and Coalition targets worldwide in the event of a U.S - led military campaign against Saddam Hussein. A large volume of reporting across a range of sources, some of which are highly reliable, indicates that Al-Qaida probably would attempt to launch terrorist attacks against U.S. interests claiming they were defending Muslims or the "Iraqi people" rather than Saddam Hussein's regime.
