NEW YORK -- CNN
The FBI urged law enforcement agencies across the country Sunday to move to their highest state of alert following the joint U.S.-British attacks on Taliban forces in Afghanistan earlier in the day.

The FBI issued its alert in a bulletin that urged police departments to be prepared to respond to any act of terrorism or violence.

The warning, sent through the agency's National Threat Warning System, was precautionary and not issued in response to any specific threat.

New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday the city stationed more police officers and security personnel at places "sensitive to attack."
