WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The United States has no plans at the moment to change the level of its terrorism threat alert, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said on Thursday.
"That's a misinterpretation of whatever was discussed on the Hill," Department of Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said. He was responding to a question about market rumors that a speech by intelligence chief John Negroponte speech signaled the terrorism alert level would be raised.
"A this time there are no plans to adjust the terror alert level," Knocke told Reuters.
The dollar fell against the euro and pared gains against the yen on Thursday after Negroponte told a Senate committee that al Qaeda is still plotting and preparing for attacks on the United States.
