New York: Targeted By Tehran? Newsweek
http://www.msnbc. <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17312636/site/newsweek/> msn.com/id/17312636/site/newsweek/ March 5, 2007 issue - Increasing tensions between Washington and Tehran have revived New York Police Department concerns that Iranian agents may already have targeted the city for terror attacks. Such attacks could be aimed at bridges and tunnels, Jewish organizations and Wall Street, NYPD briefers told security execs last fall, according to a person with access to the briefing materials who asked for anonymity because of the sensitive subject matter. NYPD officials have worried about possible Iranian-sponsored attacks since a series of incidents involving officials of the Iranian Mission to the United Nations. In November 2003, Ahmad Safari and Alireaza Safi, described as Iranian Mission "security" personnel, were detained by transit cops when they were seen videotaping subway tracks from Queens to Manhattan at 1:10 in the morning. The men later left New York. "We're concerned that Iranian agents were engaged in reconnaissance that might be used in an attack against New York City at some future date," Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly told NEWSWEEK. A spokesman for the Iranian Mission in New York said he was aware of the allegations but had no immediate comment. -- Mark Hosenball ============================================ Has NYC Been Targeted for Terror? http://www.nypress. <http://www.nypress.com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=90747133> com/blogx/display_blog.cfm?bid=90747133 Newsweek reports that officials believe Iran has targeted the city for a terrorist attack. It seems a series of incidents over the past few years have sparked the NYPD's suspicion. In November 2003, two men described as members of the Iranian Mission "security" personnel were detained when they were seen videotaping subway tracks from Queens to Manhattan at 1:10 in the morning. In response to the incident, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said, "We're concerned that Iranian agents were engaged in reconnaissance that might be used in an attack against New York City at some future date." According to Newsweek, security execs revealed last fall that future attacks may target bridges and tunnels, Jewish organizations or Wall Street. Now, with mounting tension between Washington and Tehran, these fears have been renewed. ============================================ NYC IN IRAN'S SIGHTS: KELLY By DAN MANGAN http://www.nypost. <http://www.nypost.com/seven/02262007/news/regionalnews/nyc_in_irans_sights_ _kelly_regionalnews_dan_mangan.htm> com/seven/02262007/news/regionalnews/nyc_in_irans_sights__kelly_regionalnews _dan_mangan.htm February 26, 2007 -- The NYPD fears that Iran has targeted the Big Apple for terror attacks, a grim new report reveals.
