"Oklahoma City (AP) - Nearly 11 years after the Oklahoma City bombing, some experts worry the lessons learned are being forgotten as the nation focuses on international threats.

Former F-B-I director Louis Freeh headed the agency during the bombing investigation. He says after the attack in Oklahoma City, law enforcement braced for similar events.

But since the September 11th attack, some terrorism experts say the focus has shifted.

The head of an organization that monitors hate groups and extremist activities says the number of organized hate groups is on the rise in the U-S. Mark Potok of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center says one of the lessons of the Oklahoma City bombing is that the domestic radical right poses extremely serious threats.

A remembrance ceremony for the 11th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing will be held at 9 a-m Wednesday at the Oklahoma City National Memorial in downtown Oklahoma City."
