GOVERNOR’S OFFICE STATEMENT ON ANTI-TERRORISM INVESTIGATION

The FBI and Homeland Security officials have asked local police departments across the country, including Denver, to lookout for materials that could be used to make explosives and for people who may have burn marks on their hands, faces or arms, according to WNBC-TV in New York.

Gov. Ritter’s Office issued the following statement today regarding an ongoing anti-terrorism investigation:

“Over the past several days, Gov. Ritter has been briefed regularly and as necessary. Based on what we know, there’s no reason to believe there is any imminent threat in Colorado . Colorado law enforcement is part of a Joint Terrorism Task Force, with federal, state and local partners, and these agencies are routinely briefed and consulted and provide assistance as needed.

“The investigation is ongoing and all inquiries should be directed to the FBI.”
