"Terror alert issued to school bus drivers"
By Max Foster, Roundup staff reporter
Friday, October 15, 2004
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "According to Lockhart, the letter is partly in response to an advisory federal authorities sent to attorneys general throughout the United States regarding the possibility of terrorist activity in the next six weeks -- "the magnitude of the 9/11 attack," he said.
"We need a few more eyes out there and a heightened awareness," Lockhart said. "We don't want to alarm anyone, but we're prodding to be more vigilant."
Other than the letter to the attorneys general, Lockhart said there has been no specific terrorist threat that spurred him to have the bulletin sent.
He did say, however, that FBI and Homeland Security officers have served search warrants around the country on suspected terrorists and found school bus route schedules and information on public school systems."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON - The Education Department has advised school leaders nationwide to watch for people spying on their buildings or buses to help detect any possibility of terrorism like the deadly school siege in Russia.
The warning follows an analysis by the FBI (news - web sites) and the Homeland Security Department of the siege that killed nearly 340 people, many of them students, in the city of Beslan last month."
Stay safe, everyone. Prayers for our troops.
