A spot on the hit list: LV seeks inclusion for anti-terrorism funding

gee, do ya think that ole Bush and his cronies want certain large cities underfunded? Hmmmmmm.

April 26
Nevada Homeland Security commissioners will meet in closed session today to complete work on a study expected to identify Las Vegas as a likely target for international terrorism.

The study essentially undercuts findings by the U.S. Homeland Security Department, which in January left Las Vegas off a list of 35 American cities terrorists are most likely to strike.

That omission drew strong protests from Nevada officials and terrorism experts, who argued that the federal agency's analysis failed to consider the obvious desire of al-Qaida to strike symbols of Western materialism and decadence, such as Las Vegas.

Leaving Las Vegas off the list meant less federal anti-terrorism money that could be used by local agencies for prevention and response.
