PAULA ZAHN, CNN ANCHOR: Breaking news from the Pentagon: Officials are saying that U.S. troops in eastern Afghanistan have found a cache of 30 Russian-made SA-7 shoulder-fired missiles. That underscores the warning from the FBI yesterday that we just told you about that terrorists may try to use shoulder-fired missiles against U.S. planes.

Before you get all nervous about this, although the American airlines have been warned of the possibility of this happening, they have taken no specific precautions; we are just all being told to remain vigilant.
