QuoteThe Department of Homeland Security is ending its color-coded terror alert system in April as expected, CNN's National Security Contributor Fran Townsend has confirmed.

In its place, DHS will move to a system that focuses on specific threats in geographical areas. It will be called the National Terror Advisory System. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano will officially make the announcement tomorrow at a "State of America's Homeland Security" speech at George Washington University.
