FBI Warns of Possible Terror Plot Against New York City Subway During Holidays

According to new reports, federal authorities have issued a warning of a possible Al Qaeda-orchestrated terror plot against New York City subway and other transit systems during the holidays.


An internal FBI memo described the threat as “plausible but unsubstantiated.” Although NY seems to be the terrorists’ only target, authorities say commuters in other big cities could see security tighten as well.
The gov’s report states that in late September, Al Qaeda may have talked about attacking transit systems in and around New York City during the holiday season:
“These discussions reportedly involved the use of suicide bombers or explosives placed on subway/passenger rail systems.”
