Some news:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Intelligence warnings of al Qaeda threats to attack the New York Stock Exchange, World Bank and International Monetary Fund prompted the United States on Sunday to issue a "high" level threat alert for financial institutions in New York and Washington.

Citigroup Inc, the world's largest financial company, in New York, and the Prudential Financial building in Newark, New Jersey, were included in the warning, announced by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge at a news conference.

"In light of new intelligence information, we have made the decision to raise the threat level for this sector, in these communities," he said.

It was the first U.S. terror alert to focus on a specific sector of the economy.

The "high," or code-orange, threat level is the second highest in the government's five-stage terrorism alert system. It represents a "high risk of terrorist attacks."

Sunday's warning was based on the discovery of materials analyzing how to attack some of the most powerful symbols of western capitalism.

"The quality of the intelligence ... is rarely seen and it is alarming in both the amount and specificity of the information," Ridge said.

News of the warning boosted oil prices. Dealers said U.S. oil prices struck a new 21-year peak, climbing close to $44 a barrel by late on Sunday. Most Asian stock markets fell, with Japan's Nikkei stock average down 0.7 percent by midday to 11,243.40.

President Bush agreed on Sunday to accept Ridge's recommendation to raise the threat level, White House spokeswoman Erin Healy said. The United States declared a national orange alert in December but cut it back to yellow, or "elevated," in January.

Both the IMF and World Bank are located within a few minutes' walk of the White House. Washington Police Chief Charles Ramsey said his department had beefed up coverage of the institutions as well as the Federal Reserve and Bureau of Engraving.

Another thing that should be taken on board.

(Familiar mechanical-sounding scream from outside the plane) Airline captain: "Uh, everyone, please strap yourselves in, as we are experiencing a little Godzilla-related turbulence. It doesn't look too bad, though. He usually lets go at about 30,000 feet, and, after that, we'll just have to worry about Moth-Ra, Ged-Ra, and Rodan."
