WASHINGTON - Authorities have some evidence that suspected terror surveillance information on five financial buildings was looked at again and
perhaps updated in January, a top homeland security official said Friday.
James Loy, the deputy secretary of homeland security and No. 2 official at the agency, initially told The Associated Press that new surveillance photographs were taken in January of Prudential Financial Inc.'s headquarters in Newark, N.J., both interior and exterior, and were not simply old photographs that had been altered or otherwise updated.

But later Friday, Loy said that he had not personally been "poring over" the intelligence information. He added that, while it was clear the surveillance files of the Prudential Building, held on a captured computer, were accessed and perhaps updated in January,
he could not say with certainty that there were new photos taken then. He said he had been speaking hypothetically of what could constitute updating of information.
Loy said there also is some evidence of "freshening" of surveillance information from the other four buildings specifically named in the terror warnings last weekend, although he again said
he could not say that "with total clarity." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040806/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/terror_threats_2
