| FBI urges July 4th vigilance |
| 2004-07-02 |
| THE FBI has urged police nationwide to step up patrols and watch for signs of terrorist activity during the Fourth of July weekend. Still, officials said there was no specific, credible intelligence indicating an attack was likely. "We know the U.S. homeland remains a top al-Qaeda target," the FBI said in its weekly bulletin to 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies. A constant stream of intelligence indicates that al-Qaeda is determined to stage another big attack this northern summer or autumn, possibly timed to one of a series of symbolic events in the US and overseas, most notably the political conventions in the summer, national election in November, the Olympics, but also the July 4 Independence Day. The Homeland Security Department had no plans to raise the nation’s colour-coded terror alert level above its present midpoint status of yellow, or elevated. |

| #2 Does that mean no one will look like a jihadi to you? Or that everyone will? Just wondering, since I don't drink! I know, abstention is a bad habit. I've been told to take up red wine for my health - and I've been thinking about it. |
