((Federal investigators say the threat is credible -- that these men are

The Bush Administration is urging police across the country to stop and detain these men -- warning they are all "extremely dangerous."
Tom Ridge, Homeland Security Director
Interrogations of war detainees in Cuba and in Afghanistan helped
investigators finger the suspects -- who are said to hail from Yemen,
Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia.
The only man actually named in the government's warning is Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei.
Immigration authorities have no record of him entering the U.S. -- but
the FBI issued its alert Monday night just to be safe.
John Ashcroft, Attorney General:
WHILE THIS ALERT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO ANY PARTICULAR LOCALITY,
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS AND FRANKLY ALL
AMERICANS EVERYWHERE TO BE ON THE HIGHEST STATE OF ALERT IN REGARD TO THESE INDIVDUALS."
And for good reason.
In Salt Lake City -- the Olympics is already under a hightened alert.
The feds know government warnings can stir up trouble.
In New York -- police say a deranged man carrying a suspicious package announced he had a bomb inside the city's massive Port Authority bus terminal.
