Homeland Security urges heightened vigilance

2 hours, 16 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Department of
Homeland Security said on Sunday it was urging stepped-up vigilance for possible spillover from mounting Middle East violence.


"We urge vigilance during this heightened state of tension in the Middle East," although there was no specific or credible information suggesting an imminent threat to the United States, the department said in a joint assessment with the
FBI.

The assessment went to federal, state and local authorities late Friday as well as to private sector leaders, department spokeswoman Michelle Petrovich said.

Five days of Israeli air strikes in Lebanon, after Hizbollah fighters seized two Israeli soldiers, have killed 140 people, all but four of them civilians. Hizbollah rockets killed eight people in the Israeli city of Haifa on Sunday.
