WASHINGTON — The federal government warned Sunday of possible terrorist attacks against “iconic” financial institutions in New York City, Washington and Newark, N.J., saying a confluence of intelligence over the weekend pointed to a car or truck bomb.
Specifically, the government named these buildings as potential targets:
–The Citicorp building and the New York Stock Exchange in New York City.
–The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank buildings in Washington.
–The Prudential building in Newark.

At first I thought this would be just one of these “remain vigilant” “unspecified locations” type announcements, but with this level of specificity, this is sorta freaky.
Update: This is where Columbia is, in case you were wondering.
