The al-Qaeda terrorist network is interested in targeting oil and natural gas supplies, including tankers, the federal government has told law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n
There is no “specific or imminent” threat, said Matt Chandler, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n
The information came from materials seized by U.S. Navy SEALs during the raid earlier this month that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, a U.S. official said.<\/p>\n
Earlier today, President Barack Obama, speaking at the Central Intelligence Agency, said the materials taken from bin Laden were “the largest treasure trove of intelligence ever seized from a terrorist leader.”<\/p>\n
