New York warns of possible Al Qaeda attack


www.abc.net.au

US authorities have warned of a possible Al Qaeda threat to transit systems in and around New York City, a Homeland Security official said.

New York police said they were increasing security in response to the warning but said this was "in an abundance of caution."

The warning comes at the start of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, one of the busiest US travel periods of the year.

"The New York City Police Department is aware of an unsubstantiated report indicating that Al Qaeda terrorists discussed targeting mass transit in New York City and the vicinity," Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne said.

Homeland Security Department spokesman Russ Knocke said the warning was issued on the basis of "plausible but uncorroborated information" and that Al Qaeda may have discussed such attacks in late September.

New York has remained on an orange alert - the second highest level, below red - since the September 11, 2001, attacks that destroyed the World Trade Centre. The rest of the United States is on yellow alert, one level below orange.

In October 2005, New York City's subway system was on high alert after detainees in Iraq were thought to be plotting a bomb attack. but the threat was later found to lack credibility.

In August 2007 police stepped up security throughout Manhattan and at bridges and tunnels in response to an unverified internet report that Al Qaeda might be plotting to detonate a dirty bomb in the city.




Is it just paranoia?
