Statement of Jacquelyn L. Williams-Bridgers, Mng. Dir., International Affairs and Trade, GAO, discussing the report GAO has released on U.S. efforts to address terrorist safe havens, which provide security for terrorists, allowing them to train recruits and plan operations. Various terrorist incidents demonstrate the dangers emanating from terrorist safe havens, such as the Nov. 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, planned, in part, from safe havens in Pakistan, and the attempted airliner bombing on Dec. 25, 2009, planned from safe havens in Yemen. The discovery of Osama Bin Laden in a compound in Pakistan, from which, according to U.S. officials, he played an active role in al Qaeda focused on attacking the U.S, makes this hearing particularly timely. This testimony focuses on (1) U.S. national strategies related to addressing terrorist safe havens, (2) terrorist safe havens identified by the Dept. of State and the threats emanating from these havens, and (3) the extent to which the U.S. government has identified efforts to deny terrorists safe havens. Figures. This is a print on demand report.

Since 2002, destroying the terrorist threat and closing the terrorist safe haven have been key national security goals. The U.S. has provided Pakistan, a key ally in the war on terror, more than $10.5 billion for military, economic, and development activities. Pakistan¿s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), which border Afghanistan, are vast un-policed regions attractive to extremists and terrorists seeking a safe haven. This report assesses: (1) the progress in meeting these national security goals for Pakistan¿s FATA; and (2) the status of U.S. efforts to develop a comprehensive plan for the FATA. This report compares national security goals against assessments conducted by U.S. agencies and reviews available plans. Illustrations.

In FY 2005, the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) was established to eliminate terrorist safe havens in northwest Africa by strengthening countries¿ counter-terrorism capabilities and inhibiting the spread of extremist ideology. Funds obligated for TSCTP in FY 2005 through 2007 and committed for FY 2008 by the Dept. of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the DoD have amounted to about $353 million for activities in 9 partner countries. This report examines: (1) the distribution of funds for TSCTP and the types of activities supported; and (2) the program¿s implementation, including the extent to which it is guided by a comprehensive, integrated strategy.
