Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Al-Qaeda is likely to attempt a terrorist attack in the U.S. within the next three to six months, U.S. intelligence officials told a Senate panel in Washington.

National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair told the Senate Intelligence Committee today that an attempted attack is “certain” within that time frame. Blair was responding to a question from the panel’s chairwoman, California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, during an annual assessment of threats to the U.S.
