Default FBI Issues Alert Against Almanac Carriers

WASHINGTON - The FBI (news - web sites) is warning police nationwide to
be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular
reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends
could be used for terrorist planning.



In a bulletin sent Christmas Eve to about 18,000 police organizations,
the FBI said terrorists may use almanacs "to assist with target
selection and pre-operational planning."

It urged officers to watch during searches, traffic stops and other
investigations for anyone carrying almanacs, especially if the books are
annotated in suspicious ways.
