FBI Says Terrorists May Target TV News at Democratic Convention

July 23 (Bloomberg) --

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it received ``unconfirmed information'' domestic terrorists might try to attack television news trucks in an attempt to disrupt the July 26-29 Democratic National Convention in Boston, according to a statement from the FBI's Boston office.

The terrorists, who weren't otherwise identified or described, might use explosives or incendiary devices to attack the trucks, which are used by correspondents, producers and camera crews in the field to report stories, the FBI said.

``We won't be commenting beyond what is in the statement,'' said Gail Marcinkiewicz, a spokeswoman for the FBI.

The Hearst Corp.'s WCVB-TV in Boston, an affiliate of Walt Disney Co.'s ABC network, and New England Cable News said they planned measures to protect their trucks and crews during the convention, which has been designated a ``national security event'' by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security because of the potential for a terrorist attack.

1. I'm sure the Freeper, the Mooney Times and Rove have more to do

with this than a real genuine threat.
