Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC) was established in 2004 to ensure that info. from any source about potential terrorist acts against the U.S. could be made available to analysts and that appropriate responses could be planned. Investigations of the 9/11 attacks had demonstrated that info. possessed by different agencies had not been shared and thus that disparate indications of the looming threat had not been connected and warning had not been provided. The NCTC is composed of analysts with backgrounds in many gov¿t. agencies and has access to various agency databases. Contents of this report: Background; NCTC Charter; Ongoing Activities; Assessments of NCTC; Two Recent Incidents; Congressional Concerns.
