FC: Terrorists attack World Trade Center and Pentagon

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

[Police and other sirens are wailing in Washington, and high-profile 
federal buildings have been evacuated. One of the Trade Center towers 
apparently has collapsed, with a death toll I don't want to imagine. I 
wonder if these attacks are over, and what kind of legislation we're likely 
to see in response... --Declan]

   The AP and Reuters are reported the following D.C. area evacuations on
   the threat of terrorist attacks: the White House, the U.S. Capitol
   Building, the Pentagon, the State Department and the Old Executive
   Office Building.

   According to GSA press office, they are awaiting a decision on whether
   to close government agencies in Washington.

   The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market said trading in
   stocks would not open until at least 11:30 EDT.

   Also the Federal Aviation Administration has shut down all aircraft
   takeoffs nationwide and has directed all planes in the air to continue
   to their final destinations or land at the nearest airport.

   The Sears Tower in Chicago is also being evacuated.
