Possible 9/11 Threat

As the anniversary of 9/11 nears, many people are put on edge. Everyone remembers the tragedy that took place approximately 10 years ago. As the date gets closer, people are becoming more cautious and weary, and new threats are not helping their situation. An article titled "Officials Confirm 'Credible but Unconfirmed' 9/11 Threat" found on CNN.com explains about this situation. This article was written by Barbara Starr, Mike M. Ahlers and Lesa Jansen.  The article goes on to talk about how U.S. officials recently received information about potential attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. The officials stated that they believe the threat involves three individuals, who would  attack using explosives found in vehicles. One of the three individuals is thought to be a U.S. citizen. U.S. officials have been busy increasing security and inspections all over the United States, especially in New York and Washington, D.C., although they are telling people to go on with their daily routines and not to panic.

This article is important, but the information discovered comes at a very critical and uncomfortable time. Sunday is the tenth anniversary of the disastrous 9/11 attacks, and people have already beginning to feel uneasy, but these threats add to their discomfort. It is important for everyone to be aware of what is going on, but also not to panic because that would only cause more trouble. Threats have always been targeted at the United States, and officials are prepared to deal with any problems that may occur. Although it is a tough time for everyone, especially those who lost loved ones in the attacks, they must believe that the government can protect them, while being alert themselves.
