The two cities targeted in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks will receive far less counterterrorism money this year in what the Homeland Security Department described Wednesday as an effort to spread funding to other communities facing threats.
Officials noted a $119 million cut in the total funds available for the 2006 fiscal year from last year.
