Terror targets remain under tight security
AP, New York
Under the steady gaze of police officers sporting body armour and automatic weapons, workers were confronted with ID checks and bag searches as they headed for work following the most specific domestic terrorism warnings since the 2001 attacks. Police said the measures would remain in effect yesterday and would be reviewed daily. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge along with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Gov. George Pataki and New Jersey Gov. James E. McGreevey were to meet Tuesday with financial executives from affected companies to discuss security concerns. On Monday, officials sealed off some streets in New York, put financial employees in Washington through extra security checks, and added concrete barricades and a heavily armed presence in Newark, New Jersey, in response to a terrorism alert aimed at financial titans.
