Terror Warning for Los Angeles

#1 Postby stormraiser » Thu Apr 29, 2004 5:26 am

Feds Issue Terror Warning for L.A. Mall



Thursday, April 29, 2004


LOS ANGELES ? A terrorism task force was investigating an "uncorroborated" threat to a Los Angeles (search) area shopping mall where federal officials say an attack may have been planned for Thursday.



"As of now, the information is uncorroborated and the credibility of the source is unknown," the LAPD (search) said in a statement.

No specific shopping mall was named, but the warning indicated a mall near the Federal Building in West Los Angeles could be targeted.

The LAPD will increase patrols at shopping malls in the city and asked mall operators to beef up security while a joint terrorism task force investigates. The department said it would have no further comment beyond the statement issued late Wednesday.

Mayor James Hahn's (search) spokeswoman Shannon Murphy said that while the threat was uncorroborated, the city was "asking all Los Angeles residents to go on with their daily lives while remaining vigilant and alert."
