Some imperative changes have been directed in the American intelligence agency CIA as soon as possible. CIA Director Leon Panetta also ordered the agency to formally distribute information on possible terrorists within 48 hours and to expand records on those suspects.The Central intelligence Agency said that it plans to increase the number of analysts looking at Yemen and Africa, after an attempt to blow up a US airliner was blamed on Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen. The CIA announced the move as part of several measures designed to disrupt terror plots, after intelligence agencies failed to uncover a bid to blow up a jet bound for Detroit. Panetta also instructed the agency to review information on individuals in countries of concern and to recommend if their status on terror watch lists should be changed.
