Excerpt from Bloomberg - NYC, DC and LA to remain on HIGH ALERT

``Certain locales within the private sector'' in the U.S. will ``maintain added vigilance,'' said Ridge. He declined to elaborate further. The U.S. will keep the aviation industry, nuclear facilities and ports on high alert, as well as several cities such as New York, Washington and Los Angeles, the Washington Post reported today.
