Obama Says Agencies Failed to Connect, Understand Intelligence on Failed Plot


U.S. President Barack Obama has addressed the nation regarding the failed Christmas Day attack on a U.S.-bound jetliner, saying US agencies failed to 'connect and understand' intelligence already gathered regarding the plot.

President Obama said Thursday that in an ever changing world, America's first line of defense is intelligence that is shared and acted on. But he said in this incident, intelligence agencies failed to aggressively follow up on leads that could have revealed the plot.

The president also said that ultimately, he is responsible when the system fails.
