Iraq Says It's Uncovered a Terrorist Plot to Attack Subways in Paris and the U.S. [image: Jared Keller's avatar image] <http://mic.com/profiles/139179/jared-keller>By Jared Keller <http://mic.com/profiles/139179/jared-keller> 48 minutes ago Iraq Says It's Uncovered a Terrorist Plot to Attack Subways in Paris and the U.S. Image Credit: AP <http://ap.org/> The government of Iraq said Thursday that it had uncovered plot to attack subways in Paris and the United States, the *Associated Press* reports <http://bigstory.ap.org/article/bb1b6ee077564d92ac3a6b148e22ec2a/prime-minister-says-iraq-has-uncovered-plot-attack-subways> . "Today, while I am here, I am receiving accurate reports from Baghdad where there was (the) arrest of (a) few elements and there are networks planning from inside Iraq to have attacks," Iraq Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi told <http://www.trust.org/item/20140925154741-5uh4x> reporters gathered in New York for the UN General Assembly. "They plan to have attacks in the metros of Paris and the U.S.," al-Abadi continued. "From the details I have received, yes it looks credible." Al-Abadi, who became Iraq's prime minister in August after a lengthy political battle <http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/08/maliki-steps-down-as-iraqi-prime-minister-2014814195927824856.html>, may be full of hot air. A senior U.S. government told *Reuters* that the U.S. has "no evidence" to back up Abadi's claim of an Islamic State plot to attack U.S. subways. It's not outside the realm of possibility, though. U.S. subway systems have been threatened by terrorists before. In 2009, Colorado man Najibullah Zazi was arrested <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/16/nyregion/16terror.html?_r=0> as part of an international plan by al-Qaida to bomb subway systems in New York City and the United Kingdom. And in 1997, two men with Jordanian passports were arrested <http://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/01/nyregion/police-break-up-suspected-bomb-plot-in-brooklyn.html> in Brooklyn for allegedly planning detonate bombs in a subway station and on a commuter bus. __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMnJzOHRkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0MTE2NjIxNTg-> [image: Yahoo!
