PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland City Council is reconsidering its 2005 decision to pull police out of the FBI terrorism task force.

The Oregonian reports a Thursday night session is the first step leading to a Feb. 24 vote.

At the time the city withdrew, Mayor Tom Potter said he wanted to ensure officers did not investigate people because of their religious or political views.

City officials are reconsidering the decision because of the alleged plot in November to bomb Pioneer Courthouse Square.
