US military raises alert level ahead of Sept. 11

The Pentagon on Wednesday raised the alert level at U.S. military bases, most of them domestic, ahead of the 10th anniversary commemorations of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on Sunday.    

"This is not in response to any particular threat but is a prudent and precautionary measure," said Pentagon spokesman George Little. The Pentagon said the move takes effect on Wednesday and will continue through Sunday.    

The Pentagon was among the targets of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, in which al Qaeda militants hijacked four airliners and killed almost 3,000 people. Two of the planes hit the World Trade Center in New York, one hit the Pentagon, and a fourth plane crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.    

The State Department issued a "Worldwide Travel Alert," saying Americans traveling and living abroad should be aware of the continued threat posed by al Qaeda and its affiliates.
