U.S. Law Enforcement Alerted at Possible Terror Attacks  
MON, OCT 08, 2001
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) asked the law enforcement across the country to be on the "highest alert" for possible terrorist attacks after the U.S. and Britain launched joint military actions against the Taliban on Sunday.

"All law enforcement agencies have been asked to evaluate whether additional local security measures are warranted in light of the military operations and the current threat level," the FBI said in an advisory statement.

Though there are no specific threats, the bureau asked local law enforcement departments across the United States to "be at the highest level of vigilance and be prepared to respond to any act of terrorism or violence should it become necessary."

The U.S. coast guard reportedly has beefed up security in major ports, waterways and other facilities in the wake of the military action in Afghanistan.

The U.S. Energy Department, in the meantime, placed its facilities, including nuclear weapons laboratories and nuclear materials storage areas, under a heightened security.

In a world-wide caution, the U.S. State Department warned American citizens overseas of the possibility of "strong anti-American sentiment and retaliatory actions against U.S. citizens and interests throughout the world."
