Worldwide Attack Matrix
The
Worldwide Attack Matrix is a document describing covert anti-terror operations in 80 countries in
Asia, the
Middle East and
Africa. It was presented by
CIA director
George J. Tenet in a briefing held at
Camp David September 15 2001. The
Washington Post was the first to publicly mention the document in a series published January 2002. At the time of presentation the operations were already going on or being proposed.
The actions, underway or being recommended, would range from "routine propaganda to lethal covert action in preparation for military attacks". The plans, if carried out, "would give the CIA the broadest and most lethal authority in its history".
