FBI fears terrorists will target Washington state ferries
AP, Vancouver Sun
SEATTLE-- Federal authorities believe Washington state's ferry system has been under surveillance and could be a possible target for a terrorist attack, the Seattle Times reported Sunday.
An FBI assessment determined that 19 suspicious incidents reported by law enforcement officers, ferry workers and passengers since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks were highly likely or extremely likely to involve terrorist surveillance, the Times reported.
"We may well be the target of preoperational terrorist planning," said U.S. Attorney John McKay.
