[AUG. 10, 2006]  Statement from Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich on thwarted terrorist plot and arrests in the United Kingdom:

"We learned of the terror plot last night, and since then, we have been in constant communication with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. While no locations in Illinois are known to be targets, we continue to monitor the situation closely. For people who do have to travel today, please be aware that all domestic flights have been elevated to an orange level alert. That means you should give yourself plenty of extra time at the airport. And most importantly, if you see any suspicious activity, please report it to the local authorities immediately. If we're vigilant and if we go about our lives as we normally would, we can each do our part to stand up to the terrorists and show them we won't be bullied."
