Subject: FC: Terrorists attack World Trade Center and Pentagon
[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]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A plane struck the World Trade Center in lower
Manhattan Tuesday morning, an eyewitness reported.

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.
