WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal government warned Sunday of possible terrorist attacks against iconic financial institutions in New York City, Washington and Newark, N.J., saying a confluence of intelligence over the weekend pointed to a car or truck bomb.
Specifically, the government named these buildings as potential targets:
-The Citicorp building and the New York Stock Exchange in New York City.
-The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank buildings in Washington.
-The Prudential building in Newark.
The preferred means of attack would be car or truck bombs, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said in a briefing with journalists. That would be a primary means of attack.
The government said the new intelligence indicated the meticulous planning of al-Qaida.
Ridge said the government's threat level for financial institutions would be raised to orange, or high alert, but would remain at yellow, or elevated, elsewhere.
