WASHINGTON (AP) Tampering with prescription drugs could be a way for terrorists to launch an attack on Americans, acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester Crawford said Wednesday.

Crawford said in an interview with The Associated Press that possible action by terrorists was the most serious of his concerns about the increasing efforts of states and cities to import drugs from Canada to save money.

A spokesman for the Homeland Security Department said it has received "no specific information" ofsuch a threat.

"We do acknowledge that al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups have studied agroterrorism techniques and have probably considered that tactic with regard to destabilizing the United States," said Brian Roehrkasse, spokesman for the Homeland Security Department. "While we must assume that such a threat exists generally, we have no specific information now about any al-Qaeda threats to our food or drug supply."
