| No credible threat for September 22nd |
| 2001-09-20 |
WASHINGTON — Investigators scrambling to uncover the plot behind last week's terrorist attacks have not uncovered evidence that a second wave is planned for Saturday, the Justice Department said Wednesday. That date — Sept. 22 — has appeared repeatedly during the investigation, authorities said. "We have taken a serious look at that information, and at this point we do not know of a credible threat," Justice Department spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said. Attorney General John Ashcroft and other law enforcement officials have cautioned in recent days, however, that the threat of violence is not over. They say that people connected to the terrorist network responsible for last week's attacks may remain in the United States. |
