January 31, 2004 -- ASSOCIATED PRESS


WASHINGTON -- New intelligence indicates that British Airways flights from London to Washington and Air France flights from Paris to an unspecified U.S. city could be terrorist targets, U.S. officials said Friday.

The flights are the same as those that drew attention when the terror alert was raised to orange, or high, in late December. Two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity stressed there is no specific information about what might be planned.

Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said there are no plans to raise the terror alert because of the latest threats.

No flights have been delayed or canceled due to the new threats, officials said.

1. Hell, anything could be "terror targets" Remember OKC?
The media reports this crap like it is truly news just to keep Bush and Co off the headlines.

3. So it's the weekend of the Super Bowl
and al Qaeda terrorists, who hate Americans for their freedoms, would rather hit an Air France flight, where they don't have a chance in hell of taking control of a plane ever again, while they ignore a stadium full of red blooded mostly white male Americans? Go figure.
