ABC reports that two of the individuals may have had U.S. documentation, and hears they came from tribal areas of Pakistan, where the threat intelligence originated. more ›

According to the NY Post, Port Authority police increased security after learning of a terrorist threat "advising them to be on the lookout for a fuel-filled tanker meant to explode prior to a secondary blast designed to decimate any first responders... The chilling warning was read at roll call for four police commands - cops assigned to the Holland and Lincoln Tunnel; the George Washington Bridge; and also the Staten Island command, which incorporates the Bayonne and Goethals Bridge and the Outerbridge Crossing, a source said." more ›

After the apparent suicide bombings in two Moscow subway stations that left 39 dead yesterday, the NYPD increased its presence at subway station around the city. Mayor Bloomberg condemned the attacks, "The New York City Police Department stepped up its patrol of the subways. We will learn from the terrible tragedy in Moscow, as we do from every terrorist incident around the world, and we will continue to do everything possible to protect our transit system - and our entire City - from the threat of terrorism." more ›

The concrete-and-granite bollards designed to ward off terrorist attacks at the newly-opened Atlantic Terminal Pavilion have been panned for being excessive — but who would have thought they exceeded even the NYPD's anti-terrorism guidelines? StreetsBlog reports that the barriers are both bigger and closer together than the security measures suggested in the NYPD's report "Engineering Security: Protective Design For High Risk Buildings." more ›

The investigation in an alleged terrorist plot by a former lower Manhattan coffee vendor may bring some more arrests.

Though the NYPD and federal agents say they've "successfully disrupted" an alleged terror plot targeting public transportation in NYC, officials are still uncertain whether more suspects remain to be captured. There's also the question of a bomb factory or an explosives stockpile, which would obviously have been an indispensable part of the plot. Four "anonymous government sources" tell Newsweek that more suspects (perhaps over a dozen) are being sought, and investigators are urgently searching for the explosives. Hopefully, the NYPD will be a tad more discreet from now on. more ›

As the authorities continue to investigate the alleged terror attack plans on "places of amusement, immorality, and sin" as well as "vital economic centers," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has been trying to assure New Yorkers that the NYPD is on top of things as always, saying, "There is no specific threat. In a post-9/11 world, we're concerned. We do more than any other city in the world," and "Our operating premise is that the city is the top of the terrorist target list. That there are always those people that want to come here and hurt us." We guess that's why more raids were conducted yesterday. more ›
