Goldman Is Working With Law-Enforcement Officials After Threats

Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the world's biggest securities firm, said it's working with law-enforcement authorities after letters making threats against the company were sent to U.S. newspapers.
The letters, all mailed from Queens, New York, were received by papers in states including Texas, Indiana, Tennessee and Idaho, the Star-Ledger reported today. The letters said: ``Goldman Sachs. Hundreds will die. We are inside. You cannot stop us,'' according to the New Jersey newspaper, which also received a letter.
``We take any threat to the safety of our people very seriously,'' Goldman spokesman Michael DuVally said in an e- mailed statement. ``We are working closely with the law- enforcement authorities, who tell us they don't believe the threat to be very credible.''
Supervisory special agent Neil Donovan of the FBI's New York press office didn't immediately return a call for comment. Tom Boyle, the U.S. Postal Service's assistant inspector in charge, also didn't immediately respond to a call.
``We have a broad range of security measures in place to counter all likely threats and we're monitoring the situation closely,'' Goldman's DuVally said.
