US Terror List Expanded

The FBI is planning to expand the US master terror watch list, used to stop suspected terrorists from entering the US, FBI assistant director Michael A. Mason said. The list includes suspected Al Qaeda members and other suspects from a wide spectrum of organisations around the world. The FBI is now trying to enhance the list with birth dates and other identifying factors to ascertain if the individual in front of a security officer is indeed the person whose name is on the list to avoid mistaken identity.
