Terrorists ‘may target US cities’

TERRORISTS might try to bomb buses and rail lines in major US cities this summer, according to a government bulletin issued to US law enforcement officials.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department issued a bulletin saying terrorists could attempt to conceal explosives in luggage and carry-on bags, such as duffel bags and backpacks.

The bulletin cites uncorroborated intelligence as indicating that such bombs could be made of ammonium nitrate fertiliser and diesel fuel, similar to what was used to blow up the Oklahoma City federal building in April 1995, killing 168 people.
