U.S. to Announce New Terror-Related Threat
Tue May 25, 9:33 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department (news - web sites) and the FBI (news - web sites) will announce a new terror-related threat amid increased security concerns over several high-profile events in the United States, law enforcement officials said on Tuesday.
Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) and FBI Director Robert Mueller are due to hold a 2 p.m. news conference at FBI headquarters on Wednesday to give details of the threat, the officials said.
One law enforcement official said Mueller and Ashcroft would announce an FBI "be on the lookout" bulletin and give specific information about individuals the FBI is seeking.
"It's more investigatory...there's nothing to do with infrastructure protection," the official said.
The Department of Homeland Security has no plans to raise the color-coded terror alert level, which is currently set at "yellow" for an "elevated" risk of attack, officials said.
Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge has warned since April of potential threats in the United States over the summer, including during this week's Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Other events seen as vulnerable are the Group of Eight summit in Savannah, Georgia next month, the Fourth of July holiday and the Democratic and Republican national conventions toward the end of the summer.
Officials said Mueller and Ashcroft would not announce any arrests or any new criminal charges at the news conference.
An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment and an Ashcroft aide could not be reached.
