U.S. says All Clear Boogie Men gone:
2-3-2004 U.S. Says No Plans to Ground New Flights
WASHINGTON - The "specific and credible" terrorist threats that led to the cancellation of seven flights have passed and there are no plans to ground any more flights, government officials said Monday.
"At this point we do not have any new threat reporting targeting specific flights like we did over the weekend," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
McClellan defended the decision to ground the flights.
"When we have specific intelligence that comes to our attention, we act on that intelligence, we share it, and that's what you are seeing done here," he said.
2-1-2004 Airline Cancels Washington-Houston Flight
WASHINGTON - Continental Airlines canceled a Sunday evening flight from Washington to Houston after security concerns were raised by the Homeland Security Department.
Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said Flight 1519 was canceled "due to security concerns and threat reporting about that particular flight."
He added that the federal agency and Continental "worked closely on the matter," but did not give any further details of the threat.
The National Football League's Super Bowl was being played Sunday evening at Reliant Stadium, approximately 27 miles from the airport.
1-31-2004 Flights to U.S. Canceled on Terror Fears
LONDON - British Airways and Air France on Saturday announced the cancellation of seven flights to and from the United States because of security concerns. The United States has indications of al-Qaida's continued interest in targeting international flights to America, a government official said.
A government official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said based on threat reporting there are a handful of specific flights on three airlines ? Air France, British Airways and a U.S.-based carrier that flies internationally ? that are of concern. The official declined to identify the third airline or provide information about its flights.
Dennis Lopez, 48, a lawyer from Tampa, Fla., boarding the plane, said the cancelations were unnerving.
"I'm a little worried and if I had another flight arrangement right now that could take me there I would definitely take advantage of that," he said... It hadn't occurred to me that this flight could be a possible target."
