Terrorists’ pursuit of their long-term strategic objectives include attacks on critical infrastructure and key assets. The July 2005 bombings in London demonstrate clearly that they are capable and willing to do so.
According to government sources, 85% of our critical
infrastructure facilities (telecommunications, electricity and water
sector) are privately owned/operated. Terrorists will continue to target critical infrastructure: energy; transportation; information and telecommunications networks; banking and finance systems; food, water, agriculture, and health and emergency services; postal and other assets and systems vital to a country’s national security, public health and safety, economy and way of life. Because there is a
significant interdependence between these critical infrastructures, there are also cascading effects of failure between them. A disruption of any one of these
would have significant consequences to our public health and safety.
