Credible Threats to American Cities
In the past 48 hours, there has been an increase in terrorist threats to a number of cities in the U.S., including New York City, Los Angeles and Washington D.C., ABCNEWS has learned. Threat information is coming from intelligence intercerpts, interrogation of recent detainees and other methods intelligence sources say. Sources say the threat to New York City involves a suicide bomber, possibly a female, but no specific target has been identified. In the threats received for other cities, including Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., no mode of attack has been identified and no location or specific cells were named. Discussions between local and federal law enforcement officials are currently under way to develop a response. Officials around the nation were already actively engaged in serious discussions with the Department of Homeland Security about whether events, chatter, and the time of year warrant elevating the threat level inside the United States to orange for the upcoming holiday season that starts tonight at sunset."upcoming holiday season." They canât bring themselves to say "Hanukkah," which starts tonight. Pray for us here in NYC. Posted by: growler 2003-12-19 |
