Department of Homeland Security Prepares for '07
The Department Believes It Can Prevent Any Attack That May Be Planned for the New Year

Dec. 28, 2006 — As Americans prepare to celebrate New Year's Eve, the Department of Homeland Security is working to prevent any possible terrorist attacks that could happen as 2006 rolls into 2007.

Fran Townsend, assistant to President Bush for homeland security and counterterrorism, talked with ABC's Robin Roberts about her department's latest moves and the terror threat surrounding the imminent execution of Saddam Hussein.

Asked whether the Department of Homeland Security was taking the threat of terrorism following Hussein's execution seriously, Townsend said it was prepared.

Though she knows that terrorists will still target Americans in the new year, Townsend maintains that progress made by the Department of Homeland Security will help it anticipate any attack.

"I feel confident based on the procedures we put in place … that we can stop the next attack," she said.

Let's hope they can. Happy New Year.
