U.S. Lowers Warning Level to "Yellow"
(New York Times) The Bush administration lowered the nation's terrorist alert level Thursday back to "elevated risk," or yellow on its color-coded scale, but warned of a continuing serious threat of terrorist attacks on American soil. Senior administration officials said that there was still an alarming level of intelligence suggesting the possibility of a new domestic attack by al Qaeda's terror network, and that the alert would almost certainly return to "high risk," or orange, in the days before an American invasion of Iraq.
