U.S. Officials See No Sniper Link to Terror Group


Top U.S. officials said on Sunday authorities were investigating but had found no evidence to link a string of deadly sniper attacks in the Washington area to international terror groups. Secretary of State Colin Powell, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," said it was conceivable but unproven that the attacks were connected to the al Qaeda organization of Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden, which the United States has blamed for last year's Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
