WASHINGTON, OCT. 31. The Bush administration has decided that the terror threat level will remain unchanged in spite of the Osama bin Laden videotape. But the State and local law enforcement officials have issued warnings that the message from Osama might be the signal of an impending attack. "We do not have to go to (code level) Orange to take action in response either to these tapes or just general action to improve security around the country," said the top anti-terrorism official, Tom Ridge. His comment appeared designed to send a message to Americans that while the nation is already on a high state of alert, there is also a lack of alarm after the tape. Law enforcement and intelligence agencies have been scrutinising two tapes — first that of "Azzam the American" who warned of blood in the streets of America; and that of Osama who said the U.S. had to change its policies if it wanted to avoid "another Manhattan."
