FBI alerts U.S. military to watd

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI
has warned the U.S. military to be
alert for possible Serb-led terrorist at
tacks inside the United States after
several churches received “threats to
kill” American soldiers, according to
a memo obtained by The Associat
ed Press.
FBI counterterrorism agents sent
out the memo last week after Ser
bian Orthodox churches in the
Sacramento, Milwaukee, Chicago
and Indianapolis areas received via
fax a Serb-language letter urging Ser
bian Americans to respond violent
ly to NATO strikes on Yugoslavia.
“The threat letter requested that
all Serbian nationalists living in
America take action against the
NATO decision to intervene in the
Serbian/Kosovo conflict by killing as
many American soldiers in the Unit
ed States as necessary to stop the
NATO attacks in Serbia,” according
to the FBI memo.
The memo was distributed to
military bases and other sensitive
federal installations, such as nuclear
weapons labs, through a special
electronic mail warning system, of
ficials said.
Dale Watson, the FBI’s deputy as
sistant director for counterterrorism,
declined to discuss the memo but
said the church letters aren’t the only
Serb-related terrorism threats being
examined by FBI investigators.
“As the war continues, we receive
a lot of threats in here. The FBI looks
into them,” Watson said Wednesday
in a telephone interview. “This (let
ter] is not just an isolated situation.
We look at threats; we take them all
seriously .’The FBI seldom issues the
type of memo sent to defense instal

The agency is investigating
whether there is any link between
the Yugoslav government in Bel
grade and the threats in the United
States, officials said.
The alert memo warned military
commanders nationwide “that there
is a credible threat outstanding to
take action within the United States
against U.S. military personnel.”
Military bases around the coun
try had been on alert dating as far
back as last summer’s bombing of
