The Drug Enforcement Agency said security has been tightened at its headquarters in Washington, and a large truck, presumably to ward off terrorist attacks, has appeared in front of the building.

Charles Hill, agency spokesman, acknowledged the tighter security but denied that there have been bomb threats against the DEA.
