Subject: NCIX WEB SITE UPDATE ADVISORY #24-2002

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a loose
network of antiwar groups is planning a "week of action against
warmongering" to occur December 15 - 21, 2002.  Organizers, who have
expressed strong opposition to possible U.S. military action against
Iraq, are advocating "explicit and direct attack upon the war
machine," and have called for attacks on the headquarter facilities
and other assets of oil companies and defense contractors, singling
out Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Department of Defense (DoD) assets
also represent potential targets for attack.  Organizers have
referenced an October 14, 2002 incident in San Jose, California, in
which DoD recruiting offices were damaged and a DoD recruiting van was
set on fire.  Activists may also target major media companies by
"sanitizing" newspaper vending machines, jamming or hijacking radio
and television signals, or attacking broadcast towers and damaging
equipment.

Potential victims should be alert to any suspicious activities that
may be associated with this week-long protest. Information regarding
potential threats should be reported to local law enforcement and the
nearest FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.

NCIX has created an Internet address group to alert and inform its
readers about new and updated information regarding the NCIX Web site
and other sources.  The advisories include information on NCIX
regional seminars, the release of new awareness material, and other
information of counterintelligence interest.  Please feel free to use
this updated information on your own Intranet and other
information-sharing systems.

Each advisory is assigned a sequential number for tracking purposes.  
As of this advisory, there are more nearly 3,000 official subscribers.
