>As Nato leaders gather in Brussels this week, William Cohen, the
>American Defence Secretary, will be studying a report that says military
>planners should concentrate on meeting the growing threat of attack on the
>American mainland.
>
>Although America was threatened with a Soviet nuclear strike during the
>Cold War and countered it with its own missiles overseas, a National
>Defence Panel now says more attention should be paid to the threat of hit
>and run attacks on US cities by a growing number of countries.
>
>The panel, created by Congress last year, notes that more enemies of
>America, such as Iraq, Iran and North Korea, are developing biological or
>chemical weapons and the means to deliver them.
