U.S. raising terror alert level for rail systems
Via MSNBC.
The Homeland Security Department on Thursday was raising the terror alert level for subway and rail systems — but not airlines — in the wake of the terrorist attacks in London, a U.S. official told NBC News.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the alert level for trains and subways would be raised to orange, which signifies a high risk of terrorist attack, from yellow, the mid-point on the five-point color-coded system.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff was expected to announce the increase in the five-tier terror alert system at an 11:45 ET news conference.
