http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8925309/<The FBI is backing away from an advisory sent out earlier this week
warning police that al-Qaida cells may use car and truck bombs in
southern California, Chicago and New York.
NBC News' Pete Williams reported that the agency will issue a revised
notice on Friday.
Officials stressed at the time that the warning was based on
uncorroborated intelligence.
The bulletin, which warned that terrorists could use fuel tankers in
assaults on the three cities, was distributed Tuesday via a computer
network by FBI officials in Los Angeles to law enforcement agencies
primarily in California, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
The notice was based on a single source of unknown credibility
containing information that had not been corroborated. However, the
source has since backed off the statement that led to the notice, an
official told NBC News.
On Thursday, Eimiller had noted that FBI officials often notify
police of possible threats, regardless of how accurate the
information might be.>
