Feds: Atlanta May Have Been Target

WASHINGTON -- Federal investigators have developed information
since
Tuesday's devastating
attacks indicating Atlanta may have been targeted by terrorists,
law
enforcement officials said Friday.
Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated
Press
that information obtained
during FBI interviews of people who knew the hijackers indicated
Atlanta
had been chosen for an
attack.
Authorities said they were still developing leads, and declined to
be
more specific about whether the
threat continued.
The disclosure about the Georgia capital came as the government
identified the dead hijackers, and
investigators said they are searching for 100 people they want to
question in connection with this
week's terrorist attacks.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., the top Republican on the Senate
Intelligence Committee, declined to
discuss what he had learned from intelligence briefings but said
Atlanta
was a likely target and that other
cities may remain in danger.
"Atlanta is a big transportation hub, the largest in the United
States,
the busiest airport in the United
States. It would have to be a target for any terrorist effort,"
Shelby
said.
"You've got to assume there was probably more planned, maybe for
the
aftershock," Shelby added.
He praised authorities for immediately closing airports Tuesday but
added, "Even if they lie low for a
few weeks, that doesn't mean they won't come back, because they
will;
they will until we destroy
them."
Officials in Georgia met with FBI officials and were prepared to
take
any precautions necessary. A
spokeswoman for Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes said the governor has been
briefed regularly since
Tuesday by all law enforcement and disaster agencies in charge of
protecting the state.
"As those briefings show any need to take any kind of action, he
will
work ... to take the proper steps,"
said the governor's spokeswoman, Joselyn Butler.
