Helicopter Tours in New York Proceed Despite Reports of Terror Threat
By Karen Matthews Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - Tourists boarded helicopters for sightseeing tours of the New York area on Monday despite reports that al-Qaida has considered using tour copters in terrorist attacks.

"We're all here and we're all together," said Gisele Dorte of Martinique, who boarded a Liberty Helicopter Tours chopper with her family.

The FBI sent two bulletins Friday night to police and other government officials nationwide. The first warned of a possible helicopter threat in a U.S. city.

"Al-Qaida has apparently considered the use of helicopters as an alternative to recruiting operatives for fixed-wing aircraft," said the bulletin, obtained Monday by The Associated Press. <snip>
