(Read photo caption)``The administration has concluded, based on information developed, that there may be additional terrorist attacks within the United States and against United States interests over the next week,'' Ashcroft told a news conference.
Ashcroft said the administration viewed the information as ''credible'' but could not be more specific regarding the type of attack or specific targets.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said the information was ``not specific as to intended target or as to intended method.'' He said a similar warning, issued by the FBI on Oct. 11, may have helped avert an attack.
