我们有证据表明这些袭击多数是在阿富汗境外策划的。单在上周，我们就缉获了从巴基斯坦进入阿富汗、载有35 700公斤氨硝酸盐的两辆卡车拖车。这一数量比1995年俄克拉荷马市爆炸事件中炸药用量多出20倍以上。我们可以想象一下，如果我们或我们的盟友遭受一次或数次袭击，会造成多么严重的破坏。
We have evidence that most of these attacks were orchestrated outside Afghanistan. Last week alone we seized two trailer trucks entering Afghanistan from Pakistan with 35,700 kilograms of ammonium nitrate, an amount nearly 20 times larger than what was used in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Let us take a second to imagine the magnitude of the devastation had the attack, or attacks, been carried out against us or our allies.
