Beijing, January 21 (Xinhua)-US anti-terrorism center director Michael Leiter said on the 20th that the US anti-terrorism agency lacks efficient search engines like Google, as a result, the Nigerian man attempting to create the Christmas bombing case was not identified in time.
Reuters reported that the national counter-terrorism center lacked an efficient search engine and could not be searched using several possible spelling characters of the suspect's name and the location of the suspect in Nigeria.
"We do not have the ability to perform exact search," said rete ." He also revealed that the Agency may introduce relevant solutions within weeks.
The father of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab warned u. S. embassy officials in Nepal that his son may be connected to an extremist organization. The u. S. State Department admitted that it had misspelled the name of Abdul mutalab when issuing the related warning information.
Google and other Internet search engines generally provide a variety of spelling suggestions when users search, especially when searching for names.
Dennis Blair, head of US intelligence agencies, also said that the current search tools used by US intelligence and counter-terrorism agencies are "blind spots" and cannot be searched as if people were using Google engines on their PCs.
The state department chief executive said at a hearing that it was because of misspelling of the name that the State Department had not put information about the latest U. S. Visa of Abdul in its archive.
