U.S. Officials Say Atlanta May Have Been Terrorist Target
U.S. law and enforcement department said Friday that information gathered since Tuesday's devastating attacks on New York and Washington indicated Atlanta may have been targeted by terrorists.
Information obtained during Federal Bureau of Investigation interviews of people who knew the hijackers indicated Atlanta had been chosen for an attack, said government officials, who asked not be identified.
Authorities said they were still developing leads, and declined to be more specific about whether the threat continued.
The U.S. Justice Department Friday released the names of the 19 hijackers involved in Tuesday's attacks.
Many of the 19, believed to have had pilot's training, had lived in Florida. Others were listed as living in New Jersey, California, Massachusetts and Arizona. All had Middle Eastern names.
