Ridge: U.S. Should Be on Guard for Attack

By KATHERINE PFLEGER SHRADER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The election-year terrorist threat will extend until after January's presidential inauguration, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Thursday.

And he said President Bush (news - web sites) has pointedly asked his national security team to re-evaluate hostage crisis tactics in light of the recent Russian school attack.

"The president said to all of us: just make sure you know what you are going to do, who is going to be doing it, where we are going to be doing it, what resources we are going to apply" if an attack like the Russian terrorist incident occurs, Ridge said in an interview with Associated Press reporters and editors.

In recent morning briefings, Ridge said Bush had asked his top advisers — including homeland security, FBI (news - web sites) and justice officials — to review their strategies for dealing with hostage situations to make sure they are prepared to respond.
