From the [1] Philadelphia Inquirer, :
John C. Eckenrode, special agent in charge of the FBI's Philadelphia office, said the bureau had not received any "specific or credible threats" related to Live 8 or other events.Even so, he said, the FBI's local antiterrorism command post would be on 24-hour duty in the coming days, and hundreds of Philadelphia-based agents from a variety of agencies - experts in hazardous materials, weapons of mass destruction, explosives - would be ready to "deploy at a moment's notice."
Among other things, Eckenrode said, agents would monitor the arrival of the USS Cole, a destroyer attacked by terrorists in Yemen in October 2000, which is scheduled to dock at Penn's Landing tomorrow.
