The Rocky Mountain News reports that Black Hawk helicopters buzzed downtown Denver and other neighborhoods Monday evening in a training exercise for a possible terrorist attack. It says several choppers flew low near Coors Field during a home game of the Colorado Rockies. The newspaper quotes Lt. Nathan Potter, with Special Operations Command, as saying Special Ops teams were training with local authorities. He did not elaborate, but said it had nothing to do with preparations for the Democratic National Convention, which will be held in Denver in August. “It’s routine preparation for the global war on terrorism,” he said. Potter added that Special Operations Command has also been conducting similar exercises in other cities.
