PORTLAND -- Mayor Sam Adams assured Porlanders that it's still
safe to visit downtown Portland, even after a young Somali-
American planned a bomb plot targeting Pioneer Square.  Adams
said that citizens should feel a level of confidence that
Mohamed Osman Mohamud was acting alone and the city is not a
specific terror target. However, Adams told KGW Monday that
security changes have been made to ensure the ongoing protection
of citizens.  Chief Mike Reese said he felt there should be
another layer of protection at the Square and will met with
Commissioner Nick Fish to discuss getting rid of parking around
the Square during big events.  The mayor also said citizens will
likely notice more security officers, too.  We have beefed up
patrols... to prevent any sort of copycat efforts but also just
to re-assure people... in downtown Portland and around
facilities like mosques and other places, to prevent any ill-
guided retribution to the Muslim-American community.  Video: Raw
