Ashcroft Warns of Nationwide Terrorist Threat Advisory
Washington warned that new terrorist attacks were planned against the United States in the next week with no specific targets. Attorney General Ashcroft said the advisory, sent to 18 000 law enforcement agencies, was credible but lacked actionable details. FBI Director Mueller noted the Oct 11 alert may have helped avert an attack while anthrax was found in multiple federal buildings. Authorities urged vigilance and offered no concrete precautions beyond caution.

High Court Leaves Virginia Minute Of Silence In Place
The Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to Virginia's mandatory school minute of silence, leaving the policy intact. Opponents argue it violates church-state rulings, while supporters say it allows reflection without mandating prayer. The action does not address merits and indicates the case lacks four justices to grant review.
