U.S. Homeland Security Cautions NFL on Bomb Threats (Update1)

By William Roberts

Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Citing an ``abundance of caution,'' the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned the National Football League and stadium security officials nationwide about dirty bomb threats posted on a Web site, a spokeswoman said.

``We did put out a private sector note about an hour ago,'' said Joanna Gonzalez, a department spokeswoman. ``We have been monitoring reports from overseas.''

The threats, posted on an English-language Web site, said that an al Qaeda operative had smuggled deadly materials into the U.S. from Mexico.

``We judge that they are not credible. However, out of an abundance of caution we did want to notify federal state and local law enforcement and private sector partners to be vigilant,'' Gonzalez said.

The department didn't name the stadiums, and Gonzalez said the public shouldn't change plans.

``The Department of Homeland Security has judged that the threat is not credible,'' said Brian McCarthy, NFL spokesman in New York.

``Our stadiums are very well protected through the comprehensive security procedures we have in place, including secure facility perimeters, pat-downs, and bag searches,'' McCarthy said.

The threats said truck bombs of radioactive materials would be target stadiums in seven U.S. cities on Oct. 22; Miami, New York, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland.

The New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Houston Texans, Atlanta Falcons, Oakland Raiders, and Cleveland Browns football teams all play at home that Sunday.
