FBI On Alert For Y2K Threats...12/17/99

WASHINGTON (AP) - There are no specific threats of terrorist attack in this country that are related to the new year, but the FBI still intends to remain on alert, Attorney General Janet Reno said Thursday. Asked if there were any domestic threats similar to the attacks on Americans abroad allegedly being planned for New Year's gatherings by 13 people arrested in Jordan recently, Reno said, "We have no specific information concerning specific attacks. We must always be concerned about the possibility of an attack and take every reasonable step that we can." She said common sense prevented her from publicly outlining precautions taken by her department.
