New York is increasing security after credible information shows that terrorists may be plotting an attack for the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a story from Bloomberg News.
"Terrorists view the anniversary as an opportunity to strike again," Bloomberg said Thursday night at a news conference. "In the next few days we should all keep our eyes wide open."
The threat continues despite the killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden earlier this year. It concerns a possible al-Qaida-sponsored attack targeting New York or Washington on or near Sept. 11, said a U.S. official, who wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The official said the intelligence concerns a possible vehicle-borne attack, perhaps on a transportation hub or bottleneck, and said it may be broader than a car or truck bombing. Another intelligence official said the information hasn't been fully vetted.
