ST. LOUIS -- People with supposed links to terrorist groups have accessed a Web site about stadiums worldwide, downloading images of at least St. Louis' Edward Jones Dome and Indianapolis' RCA Dome, an FBI official said.

"There's no specific threat," Bill Eubanks, head of St. Louis' FBI office, said Wednesday. "They just simply accessed the Web site."

Eubanks said a "very vague" FBI intelligence bulletin in recent days to law-enforcement agencies nationwide warned of government knowledge of individuals with "ties" to terrorist groups downloading images of certain U.S. stadiums shown on www.worldstadiums.com. At least two of those stadiums included the domed venues in St. Louis and Indianapolis, he said.

While downplaying the FBI memo, Eubanks said the FBI has coordinated security plans with St. Louis police, and representatives of the National Football League, the Edward Jones Dome and the St. Louis Rams.
