NJ hospitals are possible terror targets
Healthcare Security Weekly, August 17, 2004
Federal officials warned New Jersey hospitals that they could become terrorist secondary targets, the Star-Ledger reported.
If a large attack occurred, officials fear terrorists might target hospitals to further hinder victims.
As a result of the warning, area hospitals are focusing on plans to protect the facility and supplies.
The New Jersey Office of Counter-Terrorism issued a bulletin last week instructing ambulance operators to guard against suspicious people or behavior.
Within the last week, workers at two New Jersey rescue squads and one emergency room reported receiving peculiar inquiries, said Sidney Caspersen, head of the state's Counter-Terrorism Office.
