After England bombing, Chicago reminds people to be alert

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago emergency-management officials are reminding residents to report anything suspicious that could indicate possible terrorist activity.

A Tuesday statement from city officials came hours after a suicide bombing in Manchester, England left 22 dead and dozens injured.

It reminds people that - "If you see something, say something." It says that slogan will be advertised more prominently around Chicago starting May 29.

Office of Emergency Management and Communications executive director Alicia Tate-Nadeau says there are "no known credible threats to Chicago." But that it's worth reminding residents they are critical to helping to ensure public safety.

Cook County Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management interim director Mark Edingburg adds people shouldn't just walk by suspicious packages assuming someone else will report them.
