Via James, the financial districts in Washington D.C.; Newark, New Jersey; and New York City are now on a heightened state of alert, according to AP. Specifically:

* The Citicorp building and the New York Stock Exchange in New York City.

* The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank buildings in Washington.

* The Prudential building in Newark.

"The preferred means of attack would be car or truck bombs," Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said in a briefing with journalists. That would be a primary means of attack."

Scary stuff. Let's hope and pray this kind of warning makes the difference in a situation like this. Pray the plans are foiled, and pray that if the attacks do happen, that as few people die as possible, and as few are hurt as possible.

And I'll be praying that those responsible be brought to justice, but everyone's spirituality works differently on that point.
