Take a look at the actual packet payload and see what's going on.  From the
way the rule looks:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HTTP_SERVERS 80 (msg:"WEB-ATTACKS id command
attempt"; flags:A+; content:"\;id";nocase; sid:1333; rev:1;
classtype:web-application-attack;)

It _could_ be a false positive.  But--You can't be sure without digging into
the packet and checking it out.

Good luck!
